The race is on! The Hardrock 100 kicked off at 6 am today in Silverton, CO. Just shoot me for not having my camera at the start to show you a photo (it's already packed in my hiking bags).
The first runners have reached Cunningham at around 8 am. We're about to head up there to see if they have a couple extra bottles of Coke we could snag for our aid station. Maybe we'll catch a couple of the last runners coming through. Then we won't see them for a very long time.
Later today we'll be hiking in to our aid station (Putnam) with a horse train to hang out for a couple nights. No internet access for us! But we'll get to hear the juicy details via ham radio.

We're rooting for a bunch of folks we've met over the past couple of weeks. Austinites - keep an eye on Joe Prusaitis! Go Joe :)

So I'm going to assume that Joe Prusatis finished unofficially, since it shows him leaving your aid station but doesn't list a finishing time for him. I suppose that would be because he came in after the 6 o'clock cutoff? Still, very impressive for this most challenging 100 miler.
Kip - that is correct. Joe knew he didn't quite have time to get to the finish line before 6 am, but he was still moving well and trying to get to a warm bed as fast as he could. He crossed Mineral Creek at 6 am, got to the finish line about 40 minutes later. An impressive "course completion"!
