The website says 5500 feet gain and garmin saying 8 is big difference. I am not terribly worried about making the cutoff but it would be nice to know what is ahead of me for climbs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461753888442086921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1335726740991525813.post-48671267655303764682012-12-05T12:41:34.458-08:002012-12-05T12:41:34.458-08:00Hi Ryan,

I am planning on running the 50mile in 2013 and I am looking for some training advice. Would you recommend training specifically for the downhill? Are the downhills technical or are they mostly on dirt road? How is the terrain on the flat sections? My biggest problem in past races has been with blisters due to grit in my shoes. Is the course pretty dusty? I am hoping to come in under 11hours, and I know that will be a challenge so I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for your help,<br /><br />JoannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
