Subject: RE: Hyner Trail run : Official Thread Wow, Lyons! That's great. I have heard great things about the race, but have only been to Hyner by car to see the view. I'm still up in the air on wether I'm racing, but I'm hoping to be able to do it. A lot of my friends are doing it, so I've been getting the pressure pretty hard. It's my wife's b-day weekend, and I don't want a race to cramp the important stuff in life. BTW - I have been training for the Rothrock Challenge, which is in the beginning of June. Is anyone else doing that race? I'm not sure it has the same number and intensity of climbs as Hyner, but it's 18.6 miles in Rothrock State Forest near the Tussey Mountain Lodge (outside of State College, PA). My friends and I have been meeting every Sunday at 10am to do 8-11 miles of the trails. It's really beautiful and a good mix of technical terrain, steep climbs and some calmer moments like smooth flat jogs and some nice vistas. And if anyone wants to come along on the runs, it's an open group and pretty fun people. We keep a moderate pace and use the "slinky" method to make sure noone is ever left behind for too long. I usually bounce around in the middle of the pack. Email me at [email protected] |
