Sunny and I headed up to Tahoe yesterday to catch the last ten miles of the Tahoe 200. We hiked up 6.5 miles and caught the 25k runners charging up and down the mountain…Christian Schultz, the 20 yo leader/winner of the shorter distance was FLYING. On our way back down, Courtney Dauwalter slapped Sunny’s hand and made her day…which was made even better when we had an unexpected reunion with Anna Frost at the finish line, who was there supporting her new sponsor Merrell and sharing some new exciting personal news. By the way, the race is still going on (most will finish today) and registration is open for Bigfoot 200 next year in case you’re looking to tackle the distance in the PNW..
