What's a long day for you for a 50k?
Is there a time requirement for Leadville or just a finish?AggieOO said:
Depends on terrain and gain. TBH, I don't even know what trails they are using for the loops. If it's just the big ass wide "race loop," that makes it easier. But if we are going single track up/over/around all the granite, it'll be a bit more challenging. Would be great to keep it under 7 hours, but with my current shape/weight, not sure if that'll happen. I'm basically doing the race to enter the additional lottery for Leadville.
is it 8 or 8.5?AggieOO said:
Just noticed it's an 8.5 hour cutoff to qualify.
60% single track / 40% jeep roads per the race guide.AggieOO said:

Heather Jackson has a commanding lead going into the last loop at Javelina.
I love it as I have a home base with a tent with nourishment and extra clothing every 20miles. Looped courses I love but I can also do point to point as well as would just leave drop bags. I just love ultras I guessAggieOO said:agdoc-ultrarunner said:

Rocky is a great race, but I just can't mentally handle multi looped courses for longer races. Two loops (like Bandera) is about the most I can handle, and even that leaves me hating the last 1/4 of the race.
