A small sea-side town nesseled in the mountains amidst the Harding Glacier, a population of 3000 on a good day. Add the fourth of July and an event called the Mt. Marathon mountain race and the population explodes to 30,000 overnight. Alaskans are tough, this race is up a shale and rock mountain with an elevation gain of more than 3000 ft in less than 2 miles, with a grade of 30 to 60 percent. The winner of the mens race clocked a time of less than 45 minutes. Ken and I figure we will start training today for our next trip to Alaska, if we are lucky we will survive the training. When we were watching the race the name Randy Davies came to mind, this race is definately his style.
Our trip lately has been glacier upon glacier, mountian upon mountian, misquito upon misquito, unfortunately the weather has gotten a little cooler the average temperature for up here for the month of July is 70 degrees, I have yet to put on a pair of shorts. We are heading at Valdez next and we are hopeing to kayak in the Prince William Sound amist the glaciers it should be too COOL!
