My previous posts about running have been well-received, so I hope the community still feels the same. In less than a week, I will start my third attempt at the Angeles Crest 100, one of the most difficult trail races in the United States but also my home course. Hopefully, the third time will be a charm.

The following post on my blog attempts to inject some humor into describing one of the race's most notorious sections: Don’t Cry For Me, Ensatina: An Ode to the Joys of Cooper Canyon.
