Getting ready for a hot, sticky next 4+ years...

Posted by baselbutt on 9/22/2007 on baselbutt's blog | Groups: North Pole Marathon

I know what you're thinking - "back from the dead, are you Bobby?" Well, please accept my sincere apologies for the lack of "interaction" these past few weeks. I've had a thing or two on the personal/professional side to deal with that has quite simply consumed my life... Anyway, I'm back and should have two fairly exciting HOT weather adventures to write about over the next few months..

The Story

Sean Cornwell and Ed Stumpf were among the runners at the 2007 North Pole Marathon. Perhaps taking a cue from Bobby Bostic (now a veteran of not only the North Pole Marathon but also the Death Valley Ultramarathon), the duo also ran the Sahara Marathon earlier this year. This short video documents the run. I wonder what was more brutal? ... I'm guessing the Sahara race. Sean, who is a senior product marketing manager at Google, also blogged about the 2 races on the Official Google Blog.

Everything I know about suffering, I learned in Death Valley!

Posted by baselbutt on 3/19/2007 on baselbutt's blog | Groups: North Pole Marathon

Half way between nowhere and nowhere...smack dab in the middle of the Panamint Valley.

Between the Badwater 135 last July and back-to-back century +’s on the bike the past two days, I am now quite well versed on the subject of pain and everything that goes with it. I’ve also become intimately familiar with the route from Furnace Creek to Lone Pine, so if anyone has ANY questions about it, I have a ton of worthless information in my brain to spew back at you.

Luckily, starting tomorrow I will be 100% focused on running (not sure I even want to see my bike for a while), so you won’t have to put up with me posting arguably off-topic stories about my biking adventures.
