So, I am hoping for a little help/inspiration/idea for 2011. I want to do something cool/different for my 40th b-day. The optimal idea would be run the Hardrock 100 but I did not do a qualifier last year so that is my bad and bums me out- big time (not that I would have gotten in or finished).
So that leaves me to find something to commemorate the day. My birthday in July 9th and falls on a Saturday so that could make things easier. I have a few ideas and hoping that if anyone does in fact read this they could throw out some ideas. I would like it running based since that's what I enjoy but it is no way tied down to that.
Well, here are just a few ideas: (please chime in)-
- Do the Zion Traverse
- Go to Hardrock and pace
- Run through the Uinta mtns...i.e Kings Peak, etc
- Find a 100 mile trail race
- Just sleep in (who am I kidding)
- Drink 40 beers
- Run 40 miles somewhere (this is done all the time)
These are a few to get things rolling.

Hey bad ass 40....
I would go to hard rock and pace the whole damn thing...........
now that is going big or going home. The older you get the bigger you need to go

Andy-
It crossed my mind but they will not allow pacers for the first 40 miles.
I like that idea though
Uintah's! Kings peak is fun but you could do the whole Highline trail in two days. Butterfly to Chepeta= 70 miles and is very comparable to Hardrock. Regardless I say go big or go home!
Brian-
In 2007, Scott Jaime and myself did the Highline Trail through the Uintas from Leidy to Hayden Pass- 8 passes and 82 miles (cause we got lost a bit) in 43 hours and 58 minutes. If I wouldnt have been there, Scott would have been faster than that. Amazing expience!
