Saturday, February 16 two of the best of the best in the business face off at the Red Hot 50k in Moab. karl and I ran this race last year and what a great early season race! The first 17 miles is real runnable and the last 17 cross a giant rock that can be real tricky to find the trail. The speed goat that wins this race will be the one who spends no time looking for the course.
This is a classic match up with young goat and the master goat himself clicking across the slick rock, who will have the sharpest hooves of the day? We will find out Saturday when Meltzer calls me after the race. I am stuck at my house with over 30 feet of snow and a separated shoulder from a snowmobile crash, bummer to miss the race!
Wasatch Speed Goat – Scott
Woo hoo, an early season rumble in the desert. There are gaoing to be some hot tickets – men and women tomorrow. This is a great race that starts out fast and then gets wandering and rediculous in some of my favorite country. As a moab transplant living in Durango, CO I haven’t seen dry trail in months (except for two forrays out to Moab). Yay to Chris and Greg for making this race happen again this year. Looking forward to running 34ish miles tomorrow!
Sorry to hear about the shoulder, Scott….heal up, race season is nearing!
Best of luck to both Karl and Kyle….may the best goat win!
