2008 Angeles Crest 100 Trail Run - Idlehour Aid Station

Sadly, when I tried to apply for the Angeles Crest 100 (AC 100) this year, I was already too late. The race was full! Still smarts from that error (not signing up sooner). So, I did the next best thing...I volunteered at the Idlehour Aid Station (around mile 85) and hung out with a bunch of cool people all night long while assisting runners making their way to the finish line.

Idlehour's aid captain is a veteran of the race and a super great person named Joe Franko. He has turned the Idlehour aid station into one of the best in the business. :-)

I will get some highlights down soon...before my memory is gone:
