Fourth and final summit of the Castle Peak 100K. What an insult! After the hairy climb of Mount Lincoln, we would shoot down the scree and then begin a long steady climb up to the Judah Summit. With less than three miles to the finish I just wanted to be done, but once at the top I was grateful we got to take in one last peak. Light was fading fast, but we would bomb down the mountain to Judah Lodge just in time to finish without needing to break out the headlamps. 62ish miles, 15.5 hours, somewhere around 13K feet of climbing for the day. 150 people started, roughly 100 would finish, and I would place 33rd, some 4 hours behind the winner. What a day!
