San Diego 100 is a great race. It looks easy on paper, but the combination of a super-fast beginning, technical trails, heat and cold make for a surprisingly difficult race. The climbing is – according to my altimeter – only about 12500ft, which seems about right (there’s only one noticeable climb really), but it takes a good runner to keep running those gradual rocky trails later in the race – and a good runner I am certainly not. Still I had a ton of fun, spent some awesome time with Jill in an incredibly varied and beautiful terrain and finished in 27:18. Really though this race is all about the views, so instead of a detailed report, you get some pictures.
Great pics!
