Bair Gutsman

Here is some information on my upcoming race for Motortales.

Hello everyone!
We are a less than a week away from the big race! We hope that your training and preparation has gone well and that you are all excited about putting it all on the line.
This year we have a wide variety of racers from very young to not so young and from a bunch of first timers to some vetran Bair Gutsman racers. This year we even have the "Running Divas" group from Ogden participating which will more than likely spice things up a bit!
Just a few reminders....There is no water or aid station for the first 6 miles. These are not easy miles so plan accordingly. After reaching the top there is one aid station and then no further support until the finish line (another 5 miles). Also, the finish line is not the same place as the starting line. The race ends about 6 miles up Farmington Canyon and there is no transportation provided so please make appropriate plans.
We will be marking the trail the night before the race and hope that the signs are not tampered with for race day. Don't always trust the person in front of you....they are probably lost too. A general rul of thumb is that if you're not climbing strainght up the mountain with a maxed out heart rate, sweating, bleeding and on the verge of tears....you're probably on the wrong trail.
Check in begins at 5AM and the race will begin at 6AM sharp!
We look forward to seeing you all bright and early saturday morning!
Good Luck!

The Running Divas thing has me a little worried. I'm just hoping they aren't a bunch of men in drag.
