Wore Brian's GPS watch to map the course. Making sure its working bc I don't want to run this damn thing and have the watch not capture the data.

CIMG0216.JPG
6am start. I opted for no headlamp bc the sun would be up in about half an hour. Calculated gamble, but it paid off

And now we pick up Brian. He resisted grazing on our previously stashed food drop but needed to poke around to see what's left. 

IMG_0064.JPG
Unfortunately, an ankle injuries forces Carrie out at this point but we do pick up Brian after his nice little nap. He's all rested and ready to go.....sure you can't keep going Carrie?

IMG_0085.JPG
After explaining to the cop that she was parked on the side of the road waiting for 3 idiots running the AT at night and not trying to sleep off  a buzz, Carrie was quick with the aid generous with the cheer.  Sadly, we had to bid goodnight to Brian as well at this point......and then there were two.

Dawn breaks as we approach Aid Drop #3...absolutely beautiful

Applying bodyglide to a very sensitive area.  Hey, nice jacket Brian

IMG_0096.JPG
Beautiful misty morning....just don't think about the fact that we're heading to that big pointy mountain in the distance

IMG_0097.JPG
Definitely at a low point of the run at this point. Already passed Aid Drop #4. No crew there; Brian and Carrie headed back home. Ankles cut up from shoes, legs achy and tired, AT on roads for a few miles, when it gets to the trail its boring....ugh. Tough spot indeed

Our reward for pushing through the difficult time. We just came through the best stretch of trail in CT - Open forest with no scrub brush, lots of grass covering the forest floor, incredibly quiet and then we're brought out into this. AWESOME

Early start. 8am in the parking lot with one other car. Showtime

CIMG0122.JPG
Prep work. It's gonna be a long day. Much longer than we expected....

CIMG0123.JPG


CIMG0124.JPG
Not sure why we do this but we are legally obligated, as members of the Bimblers Running Group, to do this before every run. 

CIMG0125.JPG
Nothing to do with this picture, but not 20 seconds into the run, SERIOUSLY, not 20 seconds into the run, Loopy slips on a small wooden bridge and lands on her ass. Not. 20. Seconds. In. 

CIMG0127.JPG
A view from Bear Moutain, the tallest point in the state of Connecticut

CIMG0128.JPG
Still early, still feeling good.  That will change

Standing atop the highest point in the state, thus the highest person in the state.

CIMG0132.JPG
The view from the top of the world....of Connecticut

CIMG0133.JPG
Here's where we should have picked up on our mistake. The sign CLEARLY says the AT runs north and south, to my left and right, yet we somehow convince ourselves that the trail perpendicular to that is the one we want. Good times.

CIMG0134.JPG
Blissfully unaware 

CIMG0135.JPG
SHIT. shit shit shit. That 1.9 miles from the AT to this point was ALL downhill. To get back to where we actually needed to be, it was another another 3 miles (roughly). Add to that the fact we left our intended trail BEFORE we climbed Bear Mountain (yes, the tallest point in CT), the total distance of the detour was around 7  or 8 miles. 

CIMG0139.JPG
Able to find an alternate route back to the AT along Paradise Lane Trail. Still trying to figure out the logic behind that name.

CIMG0141.JPG

Water on the trail was a common theme to the day

CIMG0144.JPG
Absolutely flying downhill

CIMG0145.JPG
Back on track. No time to dilly dally; let's do this.

CIMG0148.JPG
THE AT trail. Beautiful.

CIMG0149.JPG
I've seen pictures of adventurers striking this pose. Thought it was appropriate. I think it suits me. 

CIMG0150.JPG
Nice little waterfall along the trail. Mountain fresh and cold as ice.

CIMG0151.JPG
Had to cross the river. It wasn't that I wanted to keep my shoes dry; I just wanted to cool the feet off. Honestly. 

CIMG0152.JPG
So fresh and so clean

CIMG0154.JPG
Along the ridge line

CIMG0155.JPG
I just told a HILARIOUS joke. You should have been there. It was awesome. 

CIMG0156.JPG
Amazing to see the water gushing down over the edge

CIMG0157.JPG
The ridgeline runs along the right side of the picture

CIMG0162.JPG
It was incredible to come out of the woods and burst out into the open sky and see this spectacular view laid out in front of you. 

CIMG0164.JPG
Loopy stops to dump trail debris out of her shoe. Turns out her shoes are surprisingly roomy.

CIMG0165.JPG
This is what we do

CIMG0170.JPG
Nice little cabin on the South Taconic Trail. You may notice the wheelbarrow has no wheel. Is it just a barrow then?

CIMG0171.JPG
Left the cabin, took three steps and sunk my foot an ankle deep in mud. Story of the day

CIMG0180.JPG
Behind me is Mt Frissell. Came up and over that and I'm headed home.

CIMG0182.JPG
Done. 7.5 hours. 6 mountains. 3 states.

CIMG0183.JPG
Give a shoutout to all my fans

CIMG0184.JPG
An ice bath the old fashioned way - in a FREEZING mountain stream

The bike, minus wheels and chain, that I would have to carry with me until the pieces were returned.

Double checking my gear. Too late to turn back now so gotta make sure I'm all set for this thing.

IMG_4758.JPG
Last minute instructions. Better listen closely.

IMG_4762.JPG
The skinny guy, left of center with the black shirt and red pack was the eventual winner. He doesn't look like much but he's a British Royal Marine. Does that give him a competitive advantage? Uh, don't know. Hard to tell. 

IMG_4766.JPG
First task, crawl through stream, under barbwire

IMG_4768.JPG

IMG_4775.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4776.JPG
Out of the barbwire, we next had to search the field for a tree stump with our race number stapled to it. Over 50 race numbers, countless extra stumps spread out over about an acre. At 4 in the morning. 

IMG_4779.JPG
Once you attach your race number, you had to dig up the stump. And then carry it with you for the rest of the race.

Trimming up the stump. Carry as little weight as possible.

IMG_4805.JPG
Small aid station at Amee Farm, the central station for the race. All the tasks branched out from this spot.

IMG_4795.JPG
The beginning of the barbwire section at Amee farm, next to the aid station.

IMG_4796.JPG
IMG_4796.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4797.JPG
Task two, take ALL your gear and crawl under more barbwire, walk to a ravine, crawl under more barbwire, walk to a river, hike about 1.5 or 2 miles down stream to checkpoint where they give you a match and tell you to keep it dry. Walk back up river and do it all in reverse.

IMG_4807.JPG
Back from the river, we crossed the road from Amee Farm to a house with piles of wood. Our task: quarter 20 logs. Ever tried to split wet wood? Don't.

IMG_4810.JPG
IMG_4810.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4811.JPG
Then take 6 pieces and all your gear - including stump and bike- up the mountain

IMG_4812.JPG
IMG_4812.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4813.JPG
The trick to carrying everything is to use your arms as little as possible. Get as much on your back and shoulders so your arms are free and won't fatigue as quickly. Of course, that's why they call it a trick; it's never as easy as it seems.

IMG_4815.JPG
Carried wood to little hut and added it to woodpile. Then continued up mountain, with all gear, to turnaround. At turnaround, had to memorize the first 10 presidents and repeat them back at the woodpile hut.

IMG_4816.JPG
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, VanBuren, Hamilton, Tyler.  Still got it.

IMG_4818.JPG
Washing some of the accumulated dirt and pebbles out of the shoes. Oddly enough, the shoes seemed to gather quite a lot of debris after crawling through muddy streams and hiking up and down a river and over a mountain. 

IMG_4819.JPG
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

IMG_4820.JPG
I'm walking on sunshine, oooh oooh, and don't it feel good.

IMG_4821.JPG
Back down the mountain, enjoying some spectacular views

IMG_4823.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4827.JPG
IMG_4827.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4828.JPG
Next task, crawl up stream, under barbwire (notice a pattern?) to get to a Lego structure where you took notes on how it was constructed, crawled back under barbwire to pond from which you retrieved a baggie of Legos and replicated the original structure. if you missed the first time, you had to crawl back up stream with your block and finish structure while looking at original.

IMG_4804.JPG
Can you see the joy on my face? It's hard to hide that kind of excitement welling up inside me.

IMG_4831.JPG
After Legos, crawled back under barbwire at Amee Farm, through ravine/barbwire and back to river where we walked upstream ~1 or 1.5 miles. Started POURING with rain and rocks were as slippery as ice. Did i fall? Yes. Did it hurt? Yes. Did I question my motivation? Yes. Did I regain my sanity and wisely remove myself from the race? Uh,...no.

IMG_4832.JPG
IMG_4832.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4833.JPG
Next task - leave gear (THANK GOD) and hike up and over hill to Riverside Farm where we would retrieve an egg and any supplies we might need to make a fire. That effing match better still be dry. But even if it is, where do i strike it? On my wet gear or maybe the rocks that have been soaking up the rain?

IMG_4834.JPG
So the task is to get an egg, make a fire, boil water to cook an egg and then eat the egg. So the egg has to be cooked in the water? Uh, not specified.

IMG_4838.JPG
My shitty fire.  The marines doing this at the same time didn't seem to struggle. Almost as if they'd had specific training in the outdoors. Did I mention it had been pouring all day, thus soaking all the dead wood in the forest? Good times.

IMG_4840.JPG
Fire made, thimble of water brought to a boil, only thing left to do was eat the egg. Yummy. Rocky Balboa eat your heart out.

IMG_4841.JPG
IMG_4841.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4842.JPG
With my immune system now fighting off the salmonella I just introduced into my body, I set off on the next task which was to hike back up the egg hill where we'd get the bike tires (only 10hrs after we started) then ride the bike downhill - providing the brakes still work after dragging the bike up, over, under and through every natural obstacle in the area - back to Riverside Farm where we'd get  our chain.  Sounds simple.

IMG_4844.JPG
We checked in with Race Director Andy who found the ziplock baggie containing our chain and gave it to one of the station workers, who then chucked the bag and chain into the pond. The water is 40deg and you can't see past your nose underwater. Good luck. Hope you watched carefully where your bag landed.

IMG_4843.JPG
After retrieving the baggie and fighting off hypothermia, the chain was re-attached.

IMG_4845.JPG
IMG_4845.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4846.JPG
Bike 200 yards into the field and leave your bike in the barn. That's it. That's all you had to do with the bike. After carrying it for over 10 hours across two mountains, up and down several miles of river, and through all manner of streams, barbwire and rocks we ride the bikes for less than 3 minutes? Welcome to the Death Race.

IMG_4848.JPG
After leaving the bike, you are weighed on a scientifically standardized scale. apparently I gained 10lbs overnight; I begin to suspect the results of the bathroom scale sitting in the mud were not completely accurate.

IMG_4849.JPG
Now gather 20%  of your body weight (40lbs in my case) in rocks and carry that up the mountain.

IMG_4851.JPG
IMG_4851.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4852.JPG
IMG_4852.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4854.JPG
At least the weather was nice and sunny. Perfect for a hike.

IMG_4857.JPG
Ugh. Sun? What sun. All I see are giant raindrops and miles of muddy trails. No, it's really easy to carry 40lbs in rocks, a tree stump and all your gear up a mountain stream and muddy trails. Really. You won't slip, stumble or fall at all.

IMG_4858.JPG
Dumped the rocks. Wait, I gotta do what now?

IMG_4859.JPG
Take all your gear down the other side of the mountain to a culvert where you fill up your bucket with water and bring it back up. Too easy? OK, do it by bushwacking half the way down. Oh, and don't spill too much. If you don't have enough in your bucket, you'll have to go back down for what your missing.

IMG_4860.JPG
IMG_4860.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4861.JPG
Cover the bucket with a shirt to minimize water loss and tie the stump to the pack so the arms are free to carry bucket. A gallon of water weighs roughly 8lbs, thus my 5 gallon bucket weighed 40lbs. Fun stuff.

IMG_4862.JPG
IMG_4862.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4864.JPG
IMG_4864.JPG 2009-06-27

IMG_4866.JPG
Back up. This is the last task before heading back to the finish so the adrenaline is picking up a bit. Got to the top where the bucket was unceremoniously dumped out and you were told to just get back to Amee Farm. Except the mountain is criss-crossed with some 200 miles of trails. And they aren't marked. Just pray your sense of direction is true.

IMG_4870.JPG
After only a few wrong turns (and walking in just one circle) finally made it back to Amee farm. Last time i'll have to crawl under this stupid wire.

IMG_4875.JPG
Nice handshake from the race director Andy

IMG_4877.JPG
"No, it was fun. Honestly, I enjoyed the race and in no way do I have the desire to run you over with my bike or beat you with my tree stump"

IMG_4876.JPG
Second year in a row. I officially have finished the most Death Races AND I have the longest streak of consecutive Death Races finishes.  EVER. Ok, so they've only actually had three, but feel free to brag to your friends that you know/are related to/briefly met at some point in time a World Record Holder.

Trying to explain to some locals what we did and why we are not, in fact, clinically insane.

IMG_4895.JPG
I dragged Jay's bike all over these mountains, rivers, streams, and rocks. I'm not grimacing because I'm in pain, I'm picturing Jay burying me up to my neck at the head of his Cockaponsett trail as a warning to all who may think of crossing him. 

IMG_4894.JPG
Can't get enough of the scenery up there. Just beautiful.

IMG_4899.JPG
River section we were forced to hike

IMG_4901.JPG
Nice to look at, shitty to hike in

IMG_4798.JPG
Wow. Vermont.
