MPF RNR Athlete Jay Lemos kicked his 2017 season off with the rugged Mount Tammany 10! This is how his race went down.
Congratulations to everyone who raced & volunteered at this weekends events! A quick update from some of the races this past weekend and photos from Julian Vicente taken during the Mount Tammany 10.
I woke up, and my watch said 3:10am. The Tammany 10 started at 6:30 in the Delaware Water Gap, over 4 hours north of where I was scrambling...
It is fitting that I ended up doing a loop course race following the recent discussion of whether or not loop courses are defined as trail races. I can tell now that the Mt. Tammany 10 is definitely a trail race, and despite the 10 loops, you could not even call it monotonous. I was wishing for a little more monotony towards the end of the day (day, for a 40 mile race?).
The Mt. Tammany 10 is 10 climbs up Mt. Tammany, each climb having 1,200 feet of gain and you have 10 hours to do so. Here is how Harry's day went.
A hearty group of runners gathered at the base of a looming giant that would later challenge our heart, will and desire in epic proportions. I’m not saying its Mt. Denali or Everest but the terrain would challenge our ability to move forward as we chased the 10 hour cut off in Everest proportions.
The race director described this course as follows "An almost 40.0 mile run traversing one of the toughest sections of trails in the DWG area". This event is not for the faint of heart.
