Grand Canyon R2R

So a long time bucket list item was to do a R2R at the Grand Canyon (with next bucket being R2R2R).  Well as of May 23, 2018 my R2R bucket item is DONE.  As part of a great vacation with Nicky (partly to celebrate our 25th Anniversary), we headed out on a road trip from NE to AZ to visit my parents, then over to Flagstaff for a couple days to Run the GC with my friend Matthew N from Florida.

All smiles before we start

I could go into gory details of the run, but let's just say I had a wonderful day and saw some some unbelievably beautiful scenery.   To sum it up better than writing, check out my 6 minute youtube video, showcasing The "Canyon Adventure" . 

Gear used (I run light)
Ultraspire Spry 2.0 with 1 lr bladder, and 1 Ultraspire 250 bottle; Oakley Trail Lens Sunglasses, Altra Olympus Shoes, and squirrels nut butter shirt and more importantly anti-chafe (that stuff is awesome!)

Enjoy and may this video inspire you to get out and Run the Trails!
