See how long it takes to do the whole thing. Heh. As far as I have been able to tell, as long as you can maintain a jog the body remains active and eyes open. Looks asthough the Douglas Island part would allow a fair amount of running for fighting drowsiness in the latter stages.<br />JoeShoeless Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539649649441701801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-253107118002357532010-07-20T09:47:51.227-08:002010-07-20T09:47:51.227-08:00Intriguing, Geoff.

If you say it's one of the most rugged, challenging, and scenic courses in the world, I don't think many would doubt you.<br /><br />I for one would love to give it a whirl...
