I thought the Laurel Highlands 70-mile was much harder than its 14,000 feet of climbing would indicate due to 98-percent rocky, boulder-choked, ankle-breaking singletrack. Eastern U.S. trails can be rugged. <br /><br />I've heard the Bear has closer to 26,000 feet of climbing. That's also what I GPS'd with my eTrex but you never know with these things. <br /><br />Susitna 100 has about 1,500 feet of climbing in all of its 100 miles and I think it's harder than the Bear. It's all relative to personal abilities, really.

At Hammer Trail, you just can't get into a rhythm because it is so technical. And that made it super challenging for someone like me. I've heard Western States for example is almost entirely runnable. Basically, I would love to run Western States! But Hammer Trail might be unbeatable in my book!sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-12597782425659665282013-05-07T16:36:31.601+02:002013-05-07T16:36:31.601+02:00Congratulations!!!

So happy you did it and seem to have had a good experience! <br /><br />Also, Leadville only has like 16k of elevation gain I think (though it is at higher elevation than many 100s). Wasatch has close to 27k and Bear has 22k and Westerm States has 18k (just for random comparison).

I think the same perspective will get us a long way in anything, ultramarathon or not.

You were already so good at the running fast part of running ultras but now you will be a master of the mental part as well. <br /><br />"That is what I call going down in style" made me laugh:)<br /><br />I love the photos of the course too--it definitely does not look anything like Denmark and it looks like a great place to run! <br /><br />-AliciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-90452181942806480432013-05-06T19:08:22.037+02:002013-05-06T19:08:22.037+02:00Perfect description of night weirdness and morning...Perfect description of night weirdness and morning drainage...and no point to give up:) Glad you were able to experience it all.

Great job and that course sounds incredibly tough yet the pictures are beautiful :) <br /><br />I love the words from Christian, something that can always keep a mom going through a tough run. I love how Ophelia talks about my running and how she sill do it too, so encouraging and often that extra push to remain strong.Coach Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110749177657676900noreply@blogger.com
