Light jog on Saturday...

Hey everyone,

My posts have been sporadic, I know… Things should pick up in 3 days…

”how do I know that?”

Well – this weekend I’ll be pacing a friend of a friend (who I can say is now officially bumped up to “friend” status) for the final 38 miles of the Western States 100. With four river crossings to deal with, I can’t guarantee any pictures, but I can almost guarantee a story or two out of it.

My leg (my 38 mile leg!) starts at the Forrest Hill School at mile 62ish… It’s the earliest pacers can join the race – good thing too – between mile zero and Forrest Hill, runners basically get a nice little trip to hell and back. Besides, joining at the tail end, I’m hoping my fresh legs will have an easier time keeping up with his…

What else is up?.. Let’s see… An event I’ve had my eye on for a few weeks (thanks to another friend) is the 24 Hours of Triathlon (www.24hoursoftriathlon.com). I may fly out and volunteer this year and hopefully throw my hat in the ring next year. Basically the event entails a ½ mile swim, 11 mile bike and 3 mile run over and over and over…again.

SOUNDS LIKE MY KIND’A PARTY!!!..

The event takes place up in Colorado, so maybe it will give me a chance to meet up with Simon and work out my Newton issues once and for all..

Cheerio!
