early Hardrock plan

Going to be tweaking this over the next week. Basing this off of my original Hardrock trip back in '08. Very conservative, and Katie is on alert that these times may move up. This is very doable for me, and fares pretty well compared to RM slammers not named Karl. The times are when I would leave the aid station.

Silverton - mile 0 - 0600 Friday
KT - 11.5 miles - 0845
Chapman - 18.9 miles - 1100
Telluride - 27.8 miles - 1400
Kroger's Canteen - 32.8 miles - 1616 (one extra minute to do a shot of tequila)
Governer - 36 miles - 1700
Ouray - 43.9 miles - 1840 (ten bonus minutes to eat a bacon cheeseburger and down a PBR)
Engineer Pass - 51.5 miles - 22:30
Grouse Gulch - 58.4 miles - 0100 Saturday (bacon cheeseburger #2)
Sherman - 71.8 miles - 0700 (PBR on top of Handies)
Pole Creek - 80.9 miles - 1100
Maggie - 85.2 miles - 1230
Cunningham - 91.2 miles - 1445
Silverton - 100.5 miles - 1845 - finish time of 36:45
Silverton Brewery - 100.6 miles - 1900

That last split is the most important.
