The big thing will be getting to Tony Grove in 12 to 13 hours. That will give me A LOT of time to get to the finish under the cutoff. The other big thing will be getting to Gibson Basin. That's the first aid station in Idaho, and the race instructions specifically say to celebrate if you like beer. I like beer, and will definitely be having one there...
Here's the course profile:
And here's my guess on splits:
Start to Logan Peak (10.5 miles)- 2.5 hours - 8:30AM
Logan Peak to Leatham Hollow (19.7 miles) - 2 hours - 10:30AM
Leatham Hollow to Cowley Canyon (30 miles) - 2 hours - 12:30PM
Cowley Canyon to Right Hand Fork (37 miles) - 1.5 hours - 2PM
Right Hand Fork to Temple Fork (45.2 miles) - 2 hours - 4PM
Temple Fork to Tony Grove (52 miles) - 2 hours - 6PM
Tony Grove to Franklin TH (61.5 miles) - 3 hours - 9PM
Franklin to Logan River (69 miles) - 2.5 hours - 11:30PM
Logan River to Beaver Lodge (76 miles) -2.5 hours - 2AM
Beaver Lodge to Gibson Basin (81.2 miles) - 2.5 hours - 4:30AM
Gibson Basin to Beaver Creek (85.3 miles) - 1.5 hours - 6AM
Beaver Creek to Ranger Dip (92.2 miles) - 3 hours - 9AM
Ranger Dip to Finish - 1 hour 59 minutes - 10:59AM
Puts me across the line just under 29 hours.

You're going to do it.
I think I will draw RMS on your face with a sharpie after you drink that strong beer in Idaho - something to be proud of!

So, I drove down a familiar road last weekend for the first time since I ran the Austin marathon 2 years ago. It was where you passed me at mile 22. Get your shit together and don't let this flatlander pass you somewhere between Beaver Lodge to Gibson Basin. ;)
It's gonna be cool when you get this done.
