Yesterday we hiked/ran up Holy Jim to Main Divide and across to West Horsethief for a 14 mile loop. The weather was nasty up on Main Divide at 4,000 feet. It was 45 and windy with on and off rain. It took quite a while for my hands to thaw after we started to decend. It took us 3 hours for the trip. We started out with 35 runners and returned with only 34, offering one up as a sacrifice. :)Actually, Kristy took a wrong turn and ended up in Corona (35 miles away from our cars) so she called her hubby to come pick her up.

I'm not sure what Pete was dressed up for. Looks like he was heading to a triathlon or bike race. Don't I look nifty in my $5 Tyvek jacket? Jeff, Andy and Kyle looking relaxed at mile 13 while we waited for some others to make sure they stayed on the trail. All three of those unassuming gents completed 100 milers this year and Kyle finished 3rd in the Angles Crest 100. Dudes can run.

Cool pics. I know EAXACTLY the spot you guys are waiting at... though a wrong turn there does take you shortly back to the same spot for a brief loop :)
I dig your blog, Trail Shoes!
