Well, for months we've been talking about doing a 50k run down on the Wonderland trail (Mt. Rainer) and this Saturday we will attempt to complete the grueling 31 miles with 16,000' of total elevation gain/loss in under 8 hours. Figure that's moving at an average of ~4mph.
The question that many people of asked us is, "why?" And really the only real answer is because we enjoy putting ourselves through difficult mental and physical challenges, where we are forced to depend not only ourselves but each other and God to get us through the ordeal. This event is a replacement for not competing in a major adventure race this summer as well so the idea is to find something that we can set and challenging but attainable goal. So with Joe as our support crew we will attempt this monumental (for us) task. Expect a recap sometime early next week.
