Leor, I follow this blog and I enjoy your reports! I figured you were going to come back here and kill this loop – looks like counter-clockwise too. It’s funny how the internet influences endurance athletic decisions: I too did this loop in August, my first time, largely based on yours and other internet reports. 12HRS, counter clockwise (:30MIN nap at Rae Lakes ranger station included!) The descent with the Sheep Fire smoke is tough. Awesome. 7.5 hours of running is hilarious compared to 4 days and 50 pounds for hiking. The vehicle drive to Road’s End is a killer though. Good stuff….- Gus

Nice job on the FKT.

I ran this loop two weeks ago after being inspired by your original race report, although my time was much, much slower. Thanks for making these reports.

I think the 42 vs 46 miles comes from some sources not counting the two miles each way from the road’s end to where the loop splits.
