Subject: 2000 Hardrock Hundred Course Records Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 15:47:18 -0600 From: "Charles T. Thorn" I want to make one small correction to Blake Wood's fine posting about the 2000 Hardrock. Each year, the Hardrock course changes in numerous small ways. Occasionnally, there are dramatic course changes. Further, we alternate the yearly direction for running the loop. The course is never the same from year to year. So, because the "course" changes, the concept of "course record" for Hardrock is fuzzy. Because of changes in course, its directional alternations, vagaries of weather and snow, etc., a pair of new "course records" is established each year. I have great admiration for all finishers of the Hardrock and even more respect for those, especiall Blake, Betsy, Kirk and Sue, who has finished first in a given year but, it is simply not correct that anyone owns THE Hardrock Hundred course record. Below is a table of the Hardrock "course records."
