Each race in the Ak Slam has had its own unique challenges and lessons with it. Wear an extra shoe size up, pack a variety of food, don't get lost. Some things obvious, some things not. I'm clumsy, forgetful and have poor sense of direction, I consider it a miracle I have made it this far.
Three down and one to go. It feels amazing to say that! I came from almost quiting my first 100 in 2013 to now completing four 100 milers in seven months.
Resurrection Pass is an out and back course. Looks like some elevation to consider. But the biggest concern is the few number of aid stations; which is one at the 50 miler turn around. The rest of the course has two drop bag locations that we run through twice.
Talking with Geoff Rose helped put the course in perspective. Its a 3p start meaning a large part of the race will be run during the cooler times of the day. The course also follows water streams throughout the race. Knowing this provided much relief.
The Race starts Friday 3:00pm at Coeur d'Alene Campground on Palmer Creek Road near Hope.
Here is to the last race of the Ak Slam! I appreciate all the support!
