I have two spots in my car for a ride down. Please reply to ashokcd@gmail.com or call me at 603.969.1389.
I am running the race and my friend (Mahesh) is driving up to the summit. We will be at the parking lot at 8 AM on Sat.

I am full now. Giving rides to Paul and John.

Sorry I didn't catch up with you Charles, saw the roaming note and left it at that. Hung around at the top cheering a while and saw a bunch of hikers heading down so went off myself for a run down the trails. Luckily avoided breaking an ankle but of course missed the turnoff for Raymond and ended up running back on the road from Pinkham. Hope all had a great time!

Hi Matt, sorry I missed you. Finished in 2:16, refueled a little and headed down Lion Head. Passed some other racers (3, one woman) above Tuckerman's who had changed into boots. Made HoJo's at 1:01, road at 2:02, and start at 2:26.(times from summit) That last road bit no fun, but Raymond was lovely in spots, like running on a balsam
pillow. I almost missed the junction. It's way closer to HoJo's than one would think, and I had just got into cruise mentality when I happened to notice the back of a white sign. Passed it and looked back, and sure enough, "Raymond Path." Just the kind of neglected trail I like. Deduct view time and I might have had positive
splits! Anyway, together we'd all have missed the turn, as I am easily distracted. Glad you had a good one.

Anyone know where we can see photos from the race?

Congrats on beating 2 hrs! I knew I was out classed when the
daughter of an apparent mother-daughter team celebrated the half-way mark by skipping!
Thanks for the company.

Saw lots of photos being taken during the race. Assume these are for sale, but don't see any info on the website. Does anybody know who the vendor is, and whether the photos are up yet?

Thanks.

Saw photos on Granite State's site. Only the leaders. Google the race, 2008 results.

I can't understand why there has not been any posting of the photos. Pictures were taken by sportstop photgraphy but i can't seem to find it.

If you click on your name in the results, you will be taken to the photographer's web site. Last I checked, the photos were not there yet. Usually takes a week or so before they are available for these type of events. Be patient. Should be there by next Monday I would think. Nobody expects to actually look good, do they? :)

Actually, I just checked, and the link to the photographer's web site has now been taken out of the searchable results. Hmmm, not sure what is going on with that.

Still looking for a ride down. It gets cold up here at night and this heat sheet doesn't provide much warmth. Let me know.

Cheer up, Ravioli! I understand there is an opening for resident yeti...

How come the pictures aren't coming up? I put in my bib number and they're not showing!!

They probably couldn't read your bib number. Supposedly there is a LOST & FOUND section, but I had no idea how to get to it. They only had two finish line pics for me. I was hoping for some course pics. The site where the pictures are hosted is awful. Brightroom does a much better job.
