I'm doing this 25K tomorrow at Big Basin Redwoods State Park in Boulder Creek: Course Map
3410' elevation gain. Should be a walk in the park considering that covers 15.5 miles.
But, there is this amazing forecast to consider: Boulder Creek - California Weather Forecast on Yahoo! Weather. It baffles me how heat waves always come along when I am signed up for a run.
I'm hoping for nicely shaded trails. I mean, it is a park well known for it's gigantic Redwoods.
My goal? I want to finish in four hours! There, I said it. Four hours.
Until later.............
About Me
- Jo Lynn
- I am 47 years old, happily married, a mom to a 24 year old daughter, a 25 year old step-daughter, and a 7 year old Catahoula Leopard Dog named Boomer. I've been road running for several years. In 2006, I was lucky enough to reconnect with someone from my past, an avid trail runner, (Dirt Diva). Because of this, trail running has become my new passion. I completed my first ultra-marathon in September, 2008. Even though my favorite activity is trail running with Boomer, I have recently taken up swimming and cycling too. My first triathlon was completed in September, 2009. So far in 2011, I've completed two 100-mile bike rides along with one adventure race. What's next? We'll just have to see.

Good luck and have fun!!
Perfect training for your 50K! Good luck! Can't wait to read all about it.
And of course-- good luck! Wish I could be there tomorrow-- running OR volunteering!
This heat is not a major inconvenience to someone who finished the Mt. Diablo marathon in temps over 90. Besides there's more shade there and not as hilly. It's something to factor in for sure, the heat, but nothing harder than what you've already experienced. As your fans have said, you are a rockstar!
You said it out loud! Can't wait to get a race report and pictures too, of course.
