Dang. This was hard. Finished healthy, but the 6700' of elevation gain was really difficult. Treacherous.

I can tell you are exhausted - your race report did not include the Bravehearter's Aid Station with haggis AND 16 year old single malt scotch.
Erik, while I hesitate to say anything for fear of encouraging this insane behavior, this is a VERY impressive time for the most difficult 50K we have here in Oregon.
Just remember, if you hurt yourself, I will come over and finish off the job...I have TOO many runs I want to do together this summer.
Good job. The amount of suffering is expected with your recent performance at the Eugene Marathon.
I did Haulin Aspen a couple years ago as my last long run training for the McKenzie 50k. Needless to say, McKenzie was a breeze compared to Haulin Aspen. It will be another Gruelfest with roots and altitude galore. Damned fun, though, and great people to chat with.
