Black Mountain Marathon

What a day! The weather was crap. There was a steady downpour all day long. It was about 40 degrees on the mountain, 30 degrees at the top. About a dozen people had to be carted off the summit due to hypothermia. Keep in mind that this is the tallest mountain east of the Mississippi. The trail really wasn't a trail. There were no nice wood chips, or handrails etc. It was rocky and muddy the entire way. There were so many rocks you were jumping back and forth like a creek bed, and the mud was deep enough that it would suck your shoe right off. In spite of all that, it was a great time.
