Bear 100 Pacing Report - 

Bryce   worked me over pretty good on this one, although I primarily blame the course profile and conditions.  Rocky and steep.  Brutal way to finish a 100 mile race.  That course is not for beginners.  Luckily Bryce is not and things turned out really well for him.  He started off slow and by the end, he had made up all the time he was behind his last year's splits and dropped an hour off his time.  I know the hotter conditions during the day this year hurt most if not everyone's times.  In spite of that, he still did much better.  Amazing!

I picked up Bryce at mile 76 and off we went.  Back up the mountain a few more times before an insane descent into Bear Lake (fish haven technically).    Really, the course profile tells half the story.

Bryce was great company for the 7 hours we were together (midnight to 7am).  You can cover a lot of material in that timeline and I quickly ran out.  Luckily, when he got bored with me, he would slip on his headphones and jam out for a bit.  I was having a blast just cruising along and enjoying a night run in some awesome mountains.  The weather was pretty moody though.  It was hot/cold/very cold/hot so frequent, I was getting sick of shedding and adding layers.  I brought just the right amount of clothes and survived.  Bryce on the "other hand" lost a glove at some point and got minor frostbite (maybe).  He will live though... what a whimp.

Bryce, spent most of the time slowing getting roadkill.  His uphill gear was broken, but his downhill was pretty decent and that helped him pass numerous guys.  We raced the sunrise and the 25 hour barrier all morning until with just under a half mile left, the clock ticked over to 7am (25 hours). 25:05 is still pretty sweet!  Nice job Bryce and thanks for the honor.  I had a great time.  He, on the other hand (get it?)  could barely move once he sat down at the finish line.  I would guess he is still stuck there with locked up legs begging for more coke or a pillow or something.

Sounds like you had a fun, and very long, day. Interesting to look at the Bear results- looks to me like the lead guys went out too fast. Quite a few of them were up to an hour ahead of my times last year, but my time would have won it in the end. Do you think that was a factor in their results?

Most of the guys in the lead pack were working pretty hard real early. the exception would be Nick P. He looked comfortable all day. He lost a LOT of time between Beaver Creek and Ranger Dip. The turn off the road a mile or so up the canyon was not marked well. There was one reflector and one pink/yellow ribbon to mark it. I only saw it because I was familiar with it and was paying close attention. someone without a pacer would easily miss it. I guarantee he missed it based on his split. But, yes, you knowing the course and running the time you ran last year would have won it. Another factor was that it was hotter this year and that hurt the times a bit.

I told you, man, you should have done it. 1st place was yours for the taking.

That sounded/looked all too familiar to my finish pacing at Wasatch, a very similar amount of vert/drop etc. I could totally relate to your run, it was a lot of fun running in the quiet through the night.
