Pine Mountain 40 Mile Trail Run
Pine
Mountain, Georgia
- 6 Dec 2009

"Business
brought me to North Carolina on December 7, so I started to look for
things to do "down south." As it happened, the Friday before a
good
friend was graduating from Airborne school at Fort Benning, GA, plus I
could see off a former commander as she deployed for the Middle
East.
Right in between these auspicious events was . . . a race! The
Pine
Mountain 40 runs all over FDR State Park on small spur of the tail end
of Appalachians. Technically the "mountain" is just a 15-mile
long
ridge that reaches 1400 feet, but it's the only mountain around, so it
garners notoriety. (I've always said that if Provo's Rock Canyon
were
in Oklahoma, it would be a national park).
The race course is an out and back with
two loops, one of which has
three very nice small waterfalls. Lots of rocks and roots, with
huge
dead leaves to hide them all. Most of us were bloody at the
finish.
The race was put on by GUTS, Georgia Ultra Trail Society, which is made
up of a bunch of really nice folks. The day broke cold for
Georgia, 27
degrees, but by 1100 or so I had peeled off my gloves, arm warmers, and
light shell. I finished the first 20 miles at 9:56 pace, but then
I
slowed down a bit because of rougher terrain. I had dropped to
about
9th place in the first 5 miles, but then one by one started reeling in
people. 40 miles really isn't my distance. The last 20 I
felt like I
was finally warmed up, and started to feel my groove without feeling
frantic. There were awards for the top 5 finishers, so a slot in
the
top 5 was a goal. I finally caught what I thought was number 5 in
an
aid station at mile 32, but he wouldn't be dusted. He fell in
right
behind me, staying with me on ups and downs. We reeled in two
more,
and at mile 35 we were a peloton of four. We stayed this way
until we
hit the blistering downhill at mile 37.5, when, at mile 39, two of them
passed me at a wide spot. The last guy couldn't pass me, but
stayed
with me. Here I really turned it on, going to 7:00 miles, and the
guy
behind me finally dropped as I tried to catch number 4. Number 3
then
fell as he got caught in a vine, and number 4 and I passed him after
checking to see he was OK. We reached the woodline, 200 feet to
the
finish, and vine guy caught me and passed me, racing for number
3. He
didn't catch him, so we finished 3, 4 and 5 within six seconds of each
other.: 6:43:47, :50: and :53. Tightest ultra finish I have ever
been
in. Number 6 came in 40 seconds later."

He has hiked the rocky tra-ils where the Wahsatch runners tread
He has gazed upon the bushes where their naked flesh has bled
He unsheathes his toothy tool that the plants have learned to
dread
DestructoMan march-es on
Chopping, sawing, cutting, whacking
Stomping, breaking, slicing, hacking
Keeping them from faces smacking
DestructoMan march-es on
In the darkness of the morning Grobben hollers out “Let’s Run!”
They are fresh and full of vinegar and having lots of fun
But someone waits until he sees the very slowest one
DestructoMan’s hike has begun
Ribbon, glo-stix, and some Goo packs
Flashlites, bottles go in his sacks
When he reaches the green shacks
DestructoMan’s work is done.
