CFA Shirt crosses Grand Canyon Rim to Rim

You may remember that I was forced to the sidelines in 2005 due to injury. It was good to take a breather as I focussed on coaching Daniele (mybetter-half) to her first marathon. She even ran my 50K race in July!!

Still, I've missed too much trail running so to get back in form I ran the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim during our July vacation in Arizona. Too bad it was during record temperatures of 115C in the shade.

I have enclosed a series of pictures I took during this solo run in the heat. I doubt that any of them are suatable for the Travelling T-shirt display (too small) but I thought you'd enjoy them none-the-less.

Geologically speaking, descending into the canyon is a descent into history as one passes ancient sedimentary layers until reaching heaven in the form of "Vishnu Schist" at the Colorado River. I was awestruck by the time-travelling aspect of descending into the canyon so I thought it was appropriate to travel backwards in CFA history with the t-shirts as well.

Ciao,
