so I am gonna do this not-so-little race

We are back from our successful ascent of Pigeon Peak, photos to come, although if you want a preview of some very pretty mushrooms we collected on the way out, see my post at mycology. But that's not what this post is about.

This post is about me getting confirmation that my transfer application to take over the spot of a runner who can't make the Imogene Pass Run has been accepted. Which means that in two weeks from tomorrow, I am going to run the 17-mile jeep road from Ouray (7810 ft) to Telluride (8820 ft), over 13,120 foot Imogene Pass.

*gulp*
