| Ahead was another runner. As I came closer to him I noticed a raccoon hat complete with a tail on his head. It had to be the same guy who was at Rocky Raccoon 100 in early February. So as I came up alongside of him I asked him if he was at RR100. And he replied yes. So I asked if he was Davy Crockett, and he said yes. He asked if I had run RR100, and I told him that I had been in charge of an aid station at RR100. |

| We were starting to close in on Gunsight Pass as the trail began to climb. Two other runners caught up with me about a half mile before the top of Gunsight Pass.. a man in a white top whom I had passed just after Granite Mtn and a woman wearing mostly black. |

| Reaching the top of Gunsight pass, I took a photo. The view from Gun Sight did not seem as hazy as it had been last year. Descending the rocky rutty dirt road, I passed the man in the white shirt. But I could not maintain my normal downhill pace, my legs were too tired. Again I had to back off my pace. Normally I can gain back some time on descents, but such was not the case this day. |
