Speed Goat Recovery Run 8.4.10

Reminder: Group Trail Run in the Phoenix Mountains Preserve Wednesday Morning 5:17 AM. Meet at the very top lot of Squaw Peak Drive. Plan on a little over one hour at a slow to moderate pace (unless Kirk is leading). First timers are always welcome. Are we forgetting anything?? ...
Runner of the week: Congrats to Mark Cosmas who ran the Speedgoat 50K last Saturday. 9:56. This is the race that Karl Meltzer is the director of. Its touted at the hardest 50K in the world. A mini Hardrock. 12K in 32 miles! Mark said its buy far the hardest 50K even harder than some 50 mile races. Mark has promised to enlighten us with a race report after he catches his breath and finishes his travels.
Check out Jamil's Grand Mesa 100 race report. As noted last week Jamil finished 3rd overall. Just 4 weeks out from his Western States finish. Photo above courtesy of Duncan Callahan.
Group Memo: As always let us know about your adventures. We all can use some motivation to get out and run!

I've never seen anything like this before, a runner (Markie Mark) takes ROW three weeks in a row. He's gonna get ROY for sure. Good job MC I'm happy you are out there having fun looking for the hardest 50K, even though we both know CKS is the hardest.

While I know you are just trying to bait me into an argument, I'll bite. Spgt is over twice as hard as cks, not even close.

Well done Mark. Course looks spectacular though it sounds like you were not sight seeing. Inspiring! Sincerely, Hail Dents.
