I got to help out at the SS (Silver State) 50/50 last Saturday. 50 kilometers or 50 miles. I was the communications personnel and got to speak to other stations and "Start/Finish" or the command post on my ham radio throughout the day. Our station was the 33 mile point. Runners would jog down a hill and we would refill their water bottles while they grabbed a snack or got something from their drop bag. Then they would be on their way back uphill for six miles to the top of Peavine, then downhill 11 miles to the finish line.
The dragon was our mascot! (Or maybe it's a gecko?)
