And no shame on not finishing 4 loops. Afton is a killer and always beats me up good. You're doing the right thing by training at Afton for Superior. Best of luck!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16868696818811312028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127193214128884628.post-88661840704978064692008-07-22T15:53:00.000-05:002008-07-22T15:53:00.000-05:00Thanks for putting out the invite.

I've never tried night running. Or trail running, for that matter. The more I read your blog (and the blogs of the other trail/ultra runners), the more I think I will give it a try though. Sounds super fun.<BR/><BR/>I have a hard time getting a kitchen pass to get my 2 or 3 hour runs in, I don't know how I would ever get one for 8 hour runs (even if it was at night when normal people are sleeping).Runnin-From-The-Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870832544535034711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127193214128884628.post-85127022107978110592008-07-20T09:55:00.000-05:002008-07-20T09:55:00.000-05:00Zach Pierce is probably still turning cartwheels '...Zach Pierce is probably still turning cartwheels 'cross the Floor, skipping the light Fandango, after finally learning through your Blog, after all of these years, that he and I (Phillip Gary Pierce) are related.<BR/><BR/>I can only tell you that the Smith side of the Phillip Gary family is only too happy to hand me off to any willing household.<BR/><BR/>No questions required.<BR/><BR/>Maybe if I can become a Pierce I will be able to get by you, Matt, on the trails?<BR/><BR/>Phillip Gary (Smith)phillip garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533377127734277639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127193214128884628.post-51250066873681539242008-07-20T08:17:00.000-05:002008-07-20T08:17:00.000-05:00Matt:congrats on your first attempt.

Alicia and I gave the Afton 100K a try, we made it 3 1/2 loops, a little over 55 miles, before we packed it in around midnight. We ran/walked from 6am to midnight, alot slower that you were trying for. Probably would have took us another 2 hours in the shape we were in, or about 20 total hours elapsed time. We took some pretty rightous parking lot breaks, sometimes 45 min to an hour. It was a great time nonetheless, we learned alot, and it got Alicia ready for her first 100 finish at Vermont, and me for my first 100 finish at Superior. I shouwer up at 8am, thinking I might run the last loop with you... it was not to be. maybe next time. <BR/>Jason HusvethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
