caitlinsmom Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Just curious if anyone has tackled this extreme relay before. :) http://www.grandtetonrelay.com/ I want to do it but I have a enormous fear of bears. I don't know that I could run my night leg without wetting myself every half mile. :) Quote
Starr Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Oh do it. It looks so fun for runners. You'll have the van nearby. Is there a history of bears eating the runners? :laugh: Carry a soda can of rocks to make noise. We want pictures! Quote

No, they even claim that they don't expect anyone to get eaten but my concern is the bears getting the memo. :D They do require that the van has at least one can of bear spray that runners can carry with them. Some parts of the course are back country where the van can't go. Every time I talk myself into it, I think of bears, moose, elk, and deer and quickly change my mind. While they are all very pretty animals to watch from the car in Yellowstone it's a whole different story to make myself a moving buffet. :) I'm sure I will want to do it again tomorrow. lol Quote
