This Saturday, before most of us have yet to wake from our slumber, many of our H.U.R.T. ohana will already be off and running representing Hawaii at Miwok! The Miwok 100K is very hilly (approximately 11,800 feet of cumulative elevation gain) with spectacular views of San Francisco  and the Golden Gate Bridge, Mt. Tamalpais and the Point Reyes National Seashore.

The weather is looking great, they’ve trained hard and I bet they are raring to go. And some may or may not already be there doing some damage at REI. Enjoy the mainland and have a fantastic time!

Best of luck to Kelly, Mike, Augusto, Scot, Jacki, Huddy and the fabulous crew/pacer extraordinaire, Mike Flartey.

Go get ‘em guys!

Attached is an account of the second and third legs of the Maui Charm.  The second leg, the Kaupo ascent was by far the most challenging and beautiful of the the three.  Enjoy!  Mike and Nick.
