[mountainmilers] For those worried about the conditions in Groom Creek

Deb and I ran the dirt section  of Copper Basin (just finished an hour ago 
in a downpour) and it was in great  shape.  Since only 2 miles of the Groom 
Creek course is on dirt and it is  so hard packed there, I am confident it 
will be in very good shape tomorrow  AM.
 

Got to the Sierra Prietta lookout and could see a major cell moving in  
fast.  We were able to stay on the edge outrunning it for a couple miles  with 
minor rain but eventually it merged and nailed us.  
 
The lesson?  
-You should not try to outrun a super cell.  
-You should not try to beat mother nature.  
-You should run with someone you don't care about that way you can turn  up 
the speed when getting drenched and ditch 'em! 
 
Ken out.
