Good Bad & The Monkey
Anybody done this one? Thoughts? I may be in FL that weekend.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

No current thoughts, though I *do* know that they don't have much in the way of aid.
But.
One of my better friends will be doing it. And she is trying to get me to come pace her for the last part (last 50? eeek) as preparation for badwater. Edited to add: SHE is preparing for badwater if she gets in, not me. No effin way.
(please don't explain to me the diff between humidity at keys vs badwater. Not my logic.)
Maniac Claude Hicks has done it. You might send him some mail and ask. I did. And now can't find his answers... though it did include the bit about not-much-aid.
And once you get to Key West you can go to the Flying Monkey Bar.
I may be in FL that weekend.
me too, but not that far south.
I just met the RD for the Keys100/50 2 weeks ago. Seemed like a nice enough guy.
The website mentions improvements in the frequency of the aid stations so maybe they listened to some of the feedback.
There will be no hills.
The King of Beasts
one of the guys that did the Fleet Feet speed sessions last spring has done it. I think he also runs with the East Nasties. at some point I will remember his name.
