Inaugural Zumbro Bottoms 100s This Weekend – Good Luck
Posted by scott on April 10, 2009
Good luck to everyone heading down to the inaugural Zumbro Bottoms 100s races this weekend! I haven’t kept close track of locals who are running, but I can’t wait to read reports from Steve, Matt, and Zach (do you have a blog?). I think Helen and Kelly are volunteering/spectating, and as I know from experience that also gives you great perspective on a race. Sorry to any I left out due to the quick post.
Someone posted pics from a recon run – was it just me, or did parts of that course look Barkley-ish? I don’t think it’s beyond Larry to put up a challenging course, but I’m sure it will be a blast.
Best of luck to everyone!

Thanks for the shout out. It was a great race.
Funny you mention Barkley. As I was nearing the course on the drive down, I was looking around thinking “oh…. crap”. I thought they looked Barkley-esk as well. But… nothing is like Barkley from what I have heard. Most of this course is actually runnable (only a few spots you are in danger of losing an eye).
It’s a fun one to at least hang out and see what happens. Or pace someone a lap or 2 for a long training run.
