I think if more folks saw what a Classic Telemark race entails, they'd be inclined to watch. It's pretty damn exciting and very physically challenging. They surely do.

Bad Enough to Run Up Mt Si by freeheel http://backcountryskiphotos.com/2008/12/how-bad-is-it-bad-enough-to-run-up-mt-si/comment-page-1/#comment-22 freeheel Thu, 25 Dec 2008 08:25:47 +0000 http://backcountryskiphotos.com/?p=216#comment-22 I ran the first half, and then did intervals of something like 5 on, 1 off the rest of the way. Overall it took about 55 minutes to get to the bench before the scramble to the top. I ran the first half, and then did intervals of something like 5 on, 1 off the rest of the way.

I tried running Mt. Si once. I could only manage about 1-to-3 minute run-rest intervals to the top, and my heart-rate was peaking out over 180 near the end of my run intervals. I made it up in about 70 minutes if i recall correctly (for reference, I can hike up in about 90 minutes with a day-pack, and about 120 minutes with a 50-pound "training" pack) I'm curious how my time & perf compare to yours: Where you able to run the entire trail non-stop, or were you doing run/walk intervals? Do you recall your overall time? Nice. I tried running Mt. Si once.
