Day 2 Horton CT Speed Attempt – Moving Great!

JB says that Horty is moving great – he’s very impressed!

Last night David and Travis arrived at the Copper Mtn trailhead at 10pm. It was a long day but David covered the 60.1 miles in 18 hours.

They then drove 20miles down the road to Frisco and stayed the night in a small motel.

This morning David was back on the trail shortly after 4am and JB reported that David started into Segment 9 at 12-noon MST today. Covering the first 25.4 miles today by noon means that Horty is maintaining his pace over some very tough terrain at high elevations.

In addition, David is eating better and overall doing very well.

JB & crew have been talking several pictures as well as some video and they hope to get that me very soon. So stay tuned for some visual aids!

Go Horton! Who needs to run the "wimpy" Hardrock 100 when you can cover 480+ miles instead?!?! You're amazing! - Garett
