Best of good fortune to BajaBoy


Zac (Bajaboy) will be taking the start line on Saturday the 6th for the San Diego 100 mile trail run - #142 and you can follow his progress here:

http://www.ultralive.net/

100 miles of fun awaits you Zac!

Well, it will be full of fun, depression, doubt and confidence, ecstasy, thirst, heat, darkness, joy, a new day dawning on the trail, plus lots more.

Obviously I posted this way too late, no doubt Zac is already at the race site and probably won't have internet, or the thought to check Nomad, but he'll see this upon his return.

I've written a later post for an update, about 6:00 a.m. Sunday

Jeez, I don't even like to drive 100 miles, unless it's in baja. I can't imagine doing it on foot.

Good luck to bajaboy!!

If you're ever broken down on a remote beach in Baja, always bring Zac. He can run out for help, up to 100 miles! All lame jokes aside, good luck bro! Hope to meet you someday.

Wow. If Zac is 100 on the fitness scale, I'm about a 4. Out of breathe just thinking about it. Buena suerte.

I'll go along with the other posters.
I can't compare myself, because I'm not allowed to run.

Absolutely speechless. Have a good run. Heck of an accomplishment.

Zac is running at a good pace


He is through the 23.3 mile aid station a little after 11:00 this morning. His minutes per mile pace is steady. Bet it's warm. The next spot where aid is available is on the right.




Zac is definitely heading uphill - the direction of the arrow. Elevations on the left are hard to read, about 4,800 is the low point and around 5,500 is the high point.

You are one of my hero's.

I get tired DRIVING 100 miles.

What is your core temperature at the end of the race?
