Helen the Beautiful Bigfoot Our 50 State Quest has seen many states checked off the list this fall, most recently Ohio. Ohio was an interesting journey! We started off by driving straight through (only stopping for gas and potty parties) for about fifteen hours, just to end up being thirty minutes late for the 50k start. Fortunately, Helen the beautiful Bigfoot was kind enough to let us start an hour later with the 10 milers. So we were welcomed to a wonderful start with little to no sleep, barely enough time to stretch out, a belly full of ginger snaps (thanks Katie!), and having a terrible case of the sniffles! And if that weren't enough, the course had over 4,000 feet of gain/loss, a trail covered in slippery mud, several stream crossings, and it was a brisk 40 degrees. After nearly seven hours, countless falls (and some rolling) in the mud, and a little (ok, maybe a large) bit of sanity being questioned, we were able to check off another state!
