Dueling Dogs Presentation tonight at Evolution Fitness

Post by tschalpi » August 17th, 2017, 7:27 am

Two historic achievements of athletic endurance took place on the weekend of June 9th, 2017. First, Christof Teuscher set the Fastest Known Time for 9 laps on Dog Mountain, on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge. Yeah, you read that right, 9 laps. Then, totally out of coincidence, Scott Martin went after the 24-hour record for laps on the same weekend, knocking out 10 laps in under 24 hours.

Dog Mountain has three different paths to the top, all starting off of Highway 14 just west of White Salmon. Each route has different mileage to the top, but you have to climb about 2,800 feet regardless of the route chosen.

Christof’s choices led him to completing 9 laps in 52.2 miles with 25,200 feet of climbing in 16:24:30. Scott chose a different path, resulting in 70 miles with 28,000 feet of climbing in 23:08:49.

Come join us to hear these two endurance athletes talk about why they made the choices they made over the course of these grueling events, how the event unfolded over the day and night, and how they felt in the aftermath.

Rather short notice. Sounds interesting. Too bad it started half an hour ago.
