No really...it was!
I owe a tremendous debt to my friend Jamie Dial, for he introduced and mentored me into the sport of Ultra Trail Running. He is training to do a 100 mile trail run this summer. Because he is my friend, I am helping him in the process. Somewhere along the way, the idea was conceived to run a segment of the Appalacian Trail that bisected Smoky Mountain National Park. The length of this trail was 72 miles.
My normal write-ups attempt to be descriptive and informative. This time it is short and simple. We started the run at 2am in the dark. Jamie fell and slashed his knee about 40 mintues into the run.. It was hilly. Pretty scenery. At 11:14pm we came off the trail. It hurt. I'm glad I did it. Enjoy the photos.
