Moab Red Hot Results
Epic day in sno-ab. Report coming.
Course was shortened by 1.5’ish miles (making it closer to a 50K and dropping the ‘+’) .8 miles due to snow conditions. Finish times are probably a wash with previous years due to the difficult and slow snow sections. Final aid station was relocated to about 2 miles from the finish also due to conditions (vehicles couldn’t make it to the normal AS spot) making for an extended dry spell between water refills. Plenty of snow to eat, though!
Sno-ab
This is the desert, right?
Looking forward to 34 miles of snow and ice tomorrow. Much different conditions than we had last year. Times will be slower, but it’ll be fun! This is the view from the starting line. We’ll climb a bit and make our way into the hanging canyon straight ahead, then end up on the edge of the rim at mile 10 (top right of pic) looking back down on the start. Then we’ll head south for another 20 or so to finish in another canyon next to the Colorado River. Sun+Snow+5 hours = remember the sunscreen!

Well my race stunk, but I got some good pics out of it (always a bonus). Thanks to Tom Dewane.
The best part of the day was going to Olive Garden with the family. The hostess was making conversation with Jessica (1st grader) asking her how her New Year’s celebration went, and did you have any resolutions? Jessica replied, “No, we just had some doughnuts.” Too funny.
