2016 Mogollon Monster reflection undone story
raw AND UNCUT I FOUND THIS. Wish I had finished it. It was an incredible journey Ideally less then a month before I take my shot at her. It was talk, adults, nah dreamers; men thirsting to suck the very narrow out of an ambitious challenge. The idea, the race, the draw, was the Mogollon Monster. Chris said “I know it can be done.” I smiled, knowing how much effort it took me to finish my first Zane Grey, and yes Mogollon is on my bucket list; but this race is so intimidating to me. Mogollon is like Zane Grey on steroids. But Chris’s argument was that it really is all mental. Well less than a year after these words flooded my brain, and about 3 months prior to the race, Chris sent me a text with a picture. His Ultra Signup screen shot. Holy Shit! He signed up for the monster. FUCK, 107 miles and 22,000 feet of climbing. I had promised to crew and pace, if and or when he did this race. I never doubted he would do it, I just hadn’t it expected it to be so SOON. Tr
