I have just read "My 12 hour Ruck Experience," and I have to say, I am less than impressed. Just such an event occurs fairly commonly in the community I hang out with, and these 12 hours are usually spent running in Mosquito or Collegiate Range (10,000-14,000 feet elevation). I am glad to see that these people who have the will power and the drive to succeed, but I'd also like to see someone who can hike for 12 hours with a Camelback without having swollen knees and beat-up feet.

So my dad and I just did a 24 hour race for fun. It's gotten to the point where I can't comprehend why people wouldn't want to do these things, which is a fascinating feeling. People have 24 hour lock-ins in church, laserquest, and anywhere else they want to have fun, so why isn't this just another funfest? Kayaking, running, orienteering, biking, all in one day? It rocked! Anyways, even within my community people are reluctant to do a certain training evolution I've been planning up. I want to do 50 miles in 20 hours with a 75 pound pack. It'll be half of the LT100 course. Anyone who is interested send me a message. I'm open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
