Hellmouth 100

Egregious and desperate measures commonplace here at the Hellmouth 100

Hellmouth 100-Mile Endurance Fun Run and Dog Jog

For the Third Straight Year, since 1998 of the Last Century, the Hellmouth 100 is here for our benefit alone. But U-2-Can-Join-The-Hellmouth-100 Family. At the hip [NTB], if necessary. Here it is!

 The race starts at 12:00pm sharp, Aug Sept 19 2000 from the fabulous BoehnerDome Mojado County Fairgrounds, 10001 E Milspec Thruway, Hellmouth CA

EXPLOITATIVE INTRODUCTION


Picking your first 100 is a big decision. You will find out many things. For instance: You might discover that legal representation before, during and after the event may be necessary. But let's not dwell on that right yet.

 Many races are touted as a good "first time". So are the sisters of a lot of really scary guys. The humididty of Vermont, the poison oak at Western, the potentials for building a great rock collection at Wasatch, the nose-shattering aridity at Leadville, and the blighted trees at Arkansas all make heavy competition.

 Not even the prospect of a nearly vertical climb up Mt Wilson in the middle of the night, where a vomiting episode will not only leave it on your head, but it will also fall into tomorrow [an unexplained time/altitude continuum shift] can begin to compare.

 Folks, the race for you 100-mile virgins is here. This is really for you, and you alone. None of your friends will be here.

THE RACE COURSE:


The race starts in the modern day, and ends where "time began, a long while back®"

 This scenic and amazing run travels a circular point-to-point. Starting at the Fabulous BoehnerDome at the Mojado Co Fairgrounds, it travels for 12-1/2 miles southbound on the shoulder of the scenic Hellmouth Fwy (I-666) [from the Hooterville Offramp past the Naval Night Bombing Range]. Mind the heat-seeking anti-personell gerbils.

 Then it courses upwards through the scenic and geologically dynamic Chorizo Altiplano in the Dorkolithic Range, inside the 950million-acre Coprylite National Monument. It travels through several unique geologic features, including the Psuedo-Sudanese Pied-Monté Hall uplands, to the more verdant Pro-Bono [Sunni] Arboreal Inclines. From there the runners thread their way through the moribund conglomerates of the Stoeff-Topp strata to the more flamboyantly textured Lugosi-Samosa outcroppings.

 After a grueling ascent and transit through the Upper Cazzo Gelato Glacier, the front-runnners will be greeting the rosy-fingered dawn over the wine-dark sea [a Homeric reference, misleading but what the hell!] as they confront the challenges of navigating the old historic Kaopectatum Trail across the flatter portions of the Chorizo Altiplano. The course is marked frequently by the day-glow spray-painted course-markings [historic dessicated camel-corpses]. You will be skirting the edge of the Milli-Vanilli Methane Dome. Open flames are not advised at this time.

 The race course draws to a merciful close at the headwaters of the of the Essbeedee Lake Chain which lies in the shadow of Goezinteit Peak. There will be an awards ceremony at the Fuzzy Weasel Recumbent Recreation Area & RV Park. Plentiful parking, mind the meters and marmots. Meters are competitively priced 20min per quarter. Change available from Race Mgmt or in Hellmouth, 65mi away.

 Though the trail passes through several distinct microclimes, it has the family resemblance of a litter of pups from different mommies and daddies, with the same last name, as if it was picked out of a phone book.

AID:

There will be at least 13 aid stations 

  • offering fried eggs
  • chorizos
  • brine
  • 10-40 SAE motor-oil
  • Lo-fat Pall Mall straights
  • salt-cod
  • de-fizzed reclaimed water
  • date-expired Shasta blueberry soda
  • Civil War hard-tack,
  • SPAM.

PACERS

You can pick up pacers only at the 66.666 mile point, at the foot of the famed and historic Upper Cazzo Gelato Glacier. Abandoned runners at this point will be auctioned off if not claimed within 20min of race cut-off [1220pm,Sun]. Last year we placed over a dozen abandoned runners to good homes and jobs in brickyards and carpet-factories in overseas locations.

CUT-OFFS

Strictly enforced in a laissez-faire kinda way, dude. Stragglers will be shot, or whatever.

AC100: 2023 Is A Matter Of Course

Image
The 2023 Notional AC100. The venerable Angeles Crest stumbled into 2023 with a finally redone website.  Congrats! Most of the photos are bright and shiny, and non-synchronous to actual locations. However, it's a considerable improvement. No idea if the signup is as buggy and weird as it was when the Next Day Lotto was unleashed several years ago. Everyone Has A Plan… RACE CANCELLED FOR 2023: SKIP TO THE END The Race has been able to rejoin its point-to-point origins, with continued mods by fire and bio-edict. RIP incinerated Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog [MYLF]. 2022's out-&-back is now an asterisk in the rear-view mirror. The new course map and descriptions are confusing. It was deja vu to 1990 for me all over again, only in color.  Map shows a Chantry pass-thru, while text indicates an out-n-back from Red Box to Newcombs, then up the Kenyon Devore over Mt Wilson. Thence over the top down to Idle Hour, to its eventual conclusion at Loma Alta in Altadena CA. Any Kenyon Devor

I Didn't Conquer Kilimanjaro

Image
  THE SUMMIT I didn't conquer Kilimanjaro. I paid attention, cooperated with the mountain in optimal conditions. Made the summit on Mar 10 2024; and more importantly, made it back down safely on my own steam. This was a pilgrimage for my late wife Leslie Sowle, who'd done it in Dec 2003. When I reunited with her in Jan 2022, I repeated my admiration for her accomplishment. She looked at me and said "its just a long walk. You could do it" Leslie in red parka. Kilimanjaro, 2003. Photographer unknown. At the time I demurred, because Kili was irrelevant in the face of her oncoming death. I began thinking about it in September 2023. If not now, then when?  I started training with her very good 2003 Arcteryx RT25 pack at home in Ventura County, CA. I made no mention of it on the socials. Bad juju. I'd booked the longest trip possible [11 days Northern Lemosho Route] with Simon Mtuy's Summit Expeditions to get as much altitude conditioning possible. A shorter trip [
