Thanks everyone for the great info! ...has anyone specifically run at Reveille? I'd like to know about the topo and trail conditions (single track, jeep roads, technical, etc.). I know it's a 9+ mile loop, but not much more. I've seen photos and read descriptions of Bandera, but just have no knowledge on this one. Thanks again!!

Regards,
Richard

The hardest part re: the Captn Karl's for me the past 2 years was getting my nutrition right when you're starting a long race at 7pm. I think the problem was I didn't eat enough for dinner, and in some cases didn't take enough salt b/c I didn't need as much in my training runs. You really have to take alot of it for those -- I eventually found taking 1 s cap every half hour was usually sufficient (which I wasn't always needing to take in training). So I'd recommend eating a normal routine, or maybe even a little bit bigger lunch, and then eat a nice mini-meal a couple hours before (which I neglected to do most of the time) that is enough to tide you over until the start at 7pm. The first half I usually suffered, then once my nutrition stabilized and the sun went down, I felt much better and wasn't so bad; sometimes it was just a matter of pressing on until it got better when I could dial everything in to "normal". The 60k's on those trails are no joke in the summer heat.

And I'd 2nd carrying spare batteries... there are times I thought I was hallucinating with the shadows at 3 or 4 in the morning with a dim light.... but it will also give you a bit more motivation to make it to your drop bag when your headlamp is running out in the darkness. Good luck!

I finally read your race report!!! (I know, pigs must be flying) That course looks fantastic..great pictures. (I've destroyed every camera I've ever taken to a race) Pretty much everything you said, I could've said about Massanutten and unfortunately, with us both coming up on another 29th birthday, heh heh, well, find some hills, Miles!!!! I did find a couple of hilly spots locally which prepared me somewhat for some of Cactus Rose last year, but having to get even more creative with a grandbaby in tow..always something..

Haven't you been to Miwok before? Did you finish? Are there pre req's to get in?

Tuesdays and Thursdays just happen to be my normal run days so that works
perfect!

As for pace, I have been running for years on the Memorial ring but just now
getting into to trail running so I suspect my pace is somewhat
...medium??....lol....

This week is out but Tuesday the 12th at 7am?  Just let me know where to meet.

Great report!! Question: did the altitude affect you at all? Coming from flat Texas I always worry whether I could do a run at altitude with no time to acclimate. A few years back I was doing simple 3-mile runs at Park City UT (about 7800 - 8000') and it was killin' me!

Sure, I feel it, but when you are at that elevation or higher there's a lot of
hiking involved up the mountains which allows for walking and catching your
breath.
It takes me a few miles to get acclimated, but I usually try not to think about
it and just move along how I feel.
As long as I stay hydrated I can fight off effects of altitude sickness
(headaches, pounding heart, etc), plus my system handles elevation pretty well.
I'm lucky!
