Craig was also still waiting for confirmation of his place in the Barkley. He and I went to look at the Chimney top trail - the last few miles of the loop. We got back and went to find Gary. He was registering runners and selling T-shirts. Gary said there wasnt much call for them.
Some guy starts laughing.
He turns out to be Matt Mahoney. At last I'd met the guy who trains for running on a beach by sanding his toes. Gary still wouldnt make a decision about Craig. Craig also thought it would be a good idea to follow Fred Pilon, since he knew the way. I spoke to Tom Possert later, who was also planning to do the 100.
