50k...T minus 48 hours

I have just over 48 hours before the PHUNT 50k trail run.  It's an ideal run.  Not that 31 miles in a predicted 39 degree day is "ideal" per se.  (Fun thought, for sure).  The ideal part is the cost.  Free-ninety-free.  Zip. Nada. Cero.  No timing chips. No finishers medals. No crowds.  Only a loosely organized group of 200 people running in the middle of winter.

My buddy Andy is coming, too.  We'll help keep each other motivated and un-lost.  I've run this distance once before, but not on trails.  

Only 3 aid stations on the entire course.  And those will be stocked with whatever the other runners bring and donate.  Gotta make a run to the store so I can pack some water and food for what I'm sure will take at least 6 hours to run.  

Hopefully I can send some photos from my phone.
