What a great run!!! Ponderous Posterior Pikes Peak 50k (8000’of gain) gave me a new perspective on what a race should be all about . . . I am going ‘shirtless’ from now on. I have way too many race shirts anyways and I never wear them. These “fat ass” style / “shirtless” events bring out a whole new sprit of running. It was more like a group of friends hanging out and going for a run . . . a BIG group of friends. All followed by a party.
Thank you JT, CRUD, and all that were involved. I had a blast and will be back.
I couldn’t see the house number, but I knew it was the right place.
With all the excitement I took off hard, but that front pack still managed to get away. With 29 miles to go, I wasn’t going to push it.
This guy is tough. The terrain and snow we covered in sandals? I am not so tough and took a fall in the first 3 miles and it would not stop bleeding.

After running 12 miles with 3000’ of gain, I attacked the “Incline”. The Incline is only a mile long, but has over 2100’ of gain. It kicked me hard. I had 18 more miles & 3000’ of gain to go.
Can you believe we rested at the top?
And check out JT the event host, he is drinking a beer. He is hardcore . . . or something.
And man, it was a beautiful day!!!
The last 6 miles were all down hill AND we got a complete tour of “The Garden of the Gods”.
I couldn’t ask for anything more. *I think this guy in the red is JP?
