- Some pix and video from this AM below. Weather looks to be great for the Ascent with temps in the 40s near the top. If anything, there might be some wind up there.
Good weather … no snow visible on top.
Wave 1 folks begin to mill at the start
What? No rain this year?
Simon G, others take a few final warm up strides
Starting line … Scott Elliott on bike
Off they go up Ruxton
Mike Sandrock about to run PPA in Vibram Five Finger.
- Total stupidity: while biking around for the Ascent start, I took a spill on a curb (and believe it or not it was in the middle of the road – at Ruxton and Manitou). Just idiotic on my part. Scraped my knee a bit, and have a few other dings that are minor charlie horses. Nothing motion debilitating but definitely just stupid as it shook me up. I guess I am lucky it was not worse. I am less concerned about the scraped knee and more concerned with the knot / bruise that is developing on my right inner quad just above the knee (icing it, yes).
Can't believe you choose to ride a bike this morning!!
ReplyDeleteYou won't even feel that tomorrow. Go pave a path for yourself at the Barr.
