Day 5

Just got off the phone with Cory Anderson who has joined Seth and Mark to crew the girls. Today is a long day with a planned 48 miles. No peaks will be captured today. Essentially they are going from one group of peaks to another. The trail will be single track the whole way and even though no peaks will be climbed there will still be a tremendous amount of elevation change. The last 12 miles will essentially be all uphill. The weather is warmer than the other days and sunny but no rain yet. As of 2:30 this afternoon they were still on schedule. The guys were kicked back in a parking lot in Asheville waiting to go meet the girls a bit later. When they meet it will be mile 36 so still 12 to go after that. Of course the guys were enjoying the scenery as well. No not the mountains but some high end exotic cars driving around Asheville. The evening will be spent at the Lundblad’s home so there will be internet there. Hope to get a few pictures to post. Later – Gary Trittipoe (somebody had to stay home and take care of the blog)
