FKT: Charles Corfield - Paradox Trail (CO) - 2011-10-09

Charles Corfield ran the Paradox from east to west on October 8-9, 2011. Peter Bakwin started the trail with Corfield, but was unable to complete the route, stopping at about the half-way mark. Greg Poettgen also ran with the pair for the first 30 miles, then switched to crewing. Earlene Antonelli, of Nucla, CO, also supported the group for the first half of the run. Conditions we very good, with temperatures well below freezing at night, and into the 50s in the daytime. There was some mud along the route due to a heavy storm 2 days prior, but it was not a big issue. Mud could be a show-stopper for running or crewing on this route, which passes through layers of shale.
