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.
