Bigfoot 40

Destination Trail, Bigfoot 40 (  https://www.destinationtrailrun.com/ ) This was my first attempt at anything larger than a 50K, and my first dip back into the game after having a down season due to a crazy job.  I signed up with around 6 weeks to actually train and get my act together, and the location, remoteness, and limited aid were all huge draws! It was hard, and hot, but one of the best runs of my life.   A very challenging day, and I'm proud of my time of 12:24! (  Ultrasignup  ) Below the photo, is the link to my Flickr album with a bunch of pictures and videos taken around the event.

Southern Wisconsin Trails list & map resources

*This is very much a live list, I will be updating with more info, descriptions, and more links as time allows, always looking for more!* If I can figure out how to make an interactive map I will, but this has been on my mind since moving to Wisconsin.  Here's a list of the trails we like to run, pretty much all of these are within an hour drive from the Madison area, so they're all good. West of Madison _______________________________________________________ Military Ridge (from the Verona Park & Ride)   Military Ridge - Google Pancake flat, but dirt, also on the south side of town, for long run days I'll just run here.  Dirt, so if you need to just do some long mindless miles, this is easier on the joints.  Bikes, a lot of them sometimes, just obey the trail rules and you'll be fine.  A few road crossings, but otherwise you can zone out You are pretty exposed for most of this, and besides Verona, and then Mt Horeb, no real options for wate...

Bigfoot 40 gear

In hindsight, a lot of this seems excessive, but, I've said it before and I mean it, I don't want to get lost or be that guy who isn't properly prepared. Bigfoot 40 was my first race over 31 miles, and is pretty remote and exposed, you get 2 aid stations and most of the day is spent in the middle of the eruption zone where nature has not yet recovered (only ash and lava rock) I'm responsible for myself, and with these distances, better safe than sorry. - Start:   mile 0 - Aid 1:  mile 12 - Aid 2:  mile 28.8 - Finish: mile 43.5 Here's what I carried: Ultimate Direction PB Adventure Vest 3.0  (16L capacity) 3L CamelBak Bladder (full of water) 1 x 600ml soft bottle (for my electrolyte mix) 1 x Katadyn BeFree Water Filtration System (empty, for filtering creek water) Iodine tabs (just in case) Poles Gaiters Small pocket knife Sunblock Bug repellent wipe Micro First Aid kit (tape/band aids/Benadryl/Tylenol/chaffing cream/etc) Compa...
