Phone call between Bob Wall and Jeff Hunt...

Just got off the phone with Bob Wall. He ran (solo) the trail succesfully yesterday in 14 hrs. He reported that the water and mud was extreme, and the fact that he was running the trail in Fall conditions made things very physical. He left at 4:30 am, and finished by swimming across the fianl river at 6:30 pm.
As a point of coincidence, there was another runner who did it that same day (a young ultra stud from Colorado - possibly one of the guys we saw at Orcas 2 yrs. ago, he also knows and has run with Gary Robbins) who ran it in 12 hrs.
