| Working our way to the climb (miles 7-9)
The sun is out, still a little chilly, and the desert is a great place to run.
The miles are flying by! About 12 min for Mile 7, 1:21 so far.
7 miles done!
A lot of the WSMR used to be the Hal Cox ranch. Seems like a hard way to earn a living.
A salute to the marchers from a Blackhawk
8 miles and 1:35 behind us.
There is beauty in the desert - and we had plenty of time to admire it.
Just past mile 8 we hit the paved entrance road. Here the 15 mile marchers turn left, the marathoners turn right - and uphill!
Now it's Will's turn for some foot first aid
We're still running! From around 4,000 feet the climb will continue to 5,400 - several miles ahead
Mile 9 took 15 minutes (1:50 from the start). Yep, even though we are on smooth pavement the climb is taking its toll. |
