Also Tony I've heard may be running the NF 50. IF he runs well there, Kyle may be in jeopardy. And Wardian at JFK too. Thanks for the good words on my summer. It was not bad. I had a great run at Coyote in March, and second wasn't bad at Jemez, but most of the stuff I did like cross Zion Canyon (52mi w/11000 vert in April) really doesn't count for much. My AT run was actually pretty good, but is entirely different from "Speedgoat of the Year". Had I broken Andrew's record I would be top 3 in my books...but I didn't. There are still more races left for these top 3 mentioned, and lets not forget Jurek's third spartathlon win with a great time. And if Jurek runs Ultracentric and kicks ass, he'll even be in there for the "smooth" category. I'll keep doing research. Off for a round of Golf, the best "rest day sport on the planet".

Sure he was injured in June shortly after WS was cancelled, but did he not win Moab 50K(cr), AR50 and Zane Grey. No telling what he would have or will do(2009) at WS. Where has this guy been anyway? My top 3: 1) Skaggs 2) Wardian 3) Krupicka OK! 4) Meltzer for his AT finish. And did not he win a 100M earlier in the year as well. What about Krupicka?

We all know he was injured early but with impressive Angeles Crest and Firetrails wins he seems to be poised for a strong next few months. With a couple of bombs in November and December I'm thinking he'd be in the top-3 after Kyle and Mike. And Karl, are you going to Squaw Valley in June??? Keep an eye on Hal.

Performance: Yes Skaggs, but in my mind there is no question that Robinson's assault of the Barkley in record fashion should be worthy of something. whoever gets it, I can assure them they are getting one kick ass piece to hang on their mantle!!

Wardian certainly wins the "road"-no headphones award. I am still looking for Kyle to do one more thing this year, but as I said before, I've been slightly out of touch in the Green Tunnel. We're working on it. We can't forget Mackey's Miwok either, that time was over the top too, not to mention Mackey's Grand Canyon Double Cross.
