Speed Goat

In 2 weeks, July 31st, I’ll be competeing in a 32 mile, high altitude, technical mountain run with 12,000 ft. of elevation gain called the Speed Goat. The majority of the race is above 9,000 ft. The highest Point is Mt. Baldy at 11,051ft.

If there were a “category”, this one would be “beyond category”. It is said to be the toughest 50K in the country. Concidering I’ve never even ran a marathon before this is going to be interesting to say the least. I’m increadibly nervous concindering my training has not been going that great. I figure I’ll do it anyway, my goal: finish. (mainly becuase there is beer at the finish line)

Here is a map of the course
