1st Wapack Range End-To-End

June 23, 1996 - Greenfield, NH to Ashburnham, MA

First ever installment of the "Wapack End-to-End" adventure.

80-Degrees, Sunny and Breezy.

I drove up to the event with CP, ready to tackle the challenge.  The Gulliver's really did a nice job coordinating the shuttle between points, as well as the aid stations.

Ran with Curt P and Paul F, finished in 4:54:59.  We lost some time on the top of one of the peaks searching for Paul's contact.

Heublein Tower Run II

Long 16.5-Mile Trail Run through Penwood and Talcott Mountain area, second consecutive season.

Finished in 3:10:27, which was almost twenty-minutes slower than last year.

There may have been a few reasons for this:

• Temperature in the high 80's.
• Very Sunny, Very Hot, and Very Humid.
• Stomach Problems due to a lunch that may have been "too big".
• Ended up Lost a bit at the bottom of Heublein.

This could have started at T-Ville, with the following breakouts:

T-Ville Out        24:25 /    24:25

Penwood Out    37:28 / 1:01:53
