What's tougher, Grandfather Mtn or Monkey?
Good Bad & The Monkey
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Grandfather Mountain! Grandfather Mountain!
And not because of the hills.
Monkey: nice road. Occasional car. Might honk and show support.
GMM: scary skinny shoulder. Cars, pickups, dump trucks barreling at you at 50 mph. Might honk and flip you off.
Monkey: Super nice people.
GMM: race staff that will make you feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, and wondering whether "did that just happen?" was racially motivated. Also will take a chair away from you after the race so that they can... not sit in it.
Ok then.
Liar.
A popsicle will put you in a better mood.
Never ran Grandfather, but I doubt they'd have vomit all over the finish chute.
