This week Jim Skaggs will host the Antelope Island Buffalo Run. This course takes place on Antelope Island on the Great Salt Lake. I’ll be working the “Lower Frary” aid station along with Larry Mangum. There are nearly 500 runners registered in the 3 races….50 mile, 50k and 25k. Looks like the buffalos will be running from runners. While it is currently dumping here in SLC, the weather looks favorable this coming weekend for some fast times, unless the moisture lingers for a few days creating that wonderful, sloppy Utah mud.
This past week I fell in a “transformer hole” up at work and tweaked my left knee. No real damage, just a little wacked. Hopefully this is the third “issue” in my string of winter injuries. First a broken rib in January, then a tweaked calf (but not injured) at Way Too Cool, and now this. Sledding is dangerous! Injuries 1 and 3 were “sledding related”. The broken rib was a compression turn, the other I was walking down from the famed luge run when I fell in a hole. No popping or scary sounds and the knee feels strong. I ran yesterday cautiously, and without pain. Hopefully this won’t cause any more setbacks with training as the Massannutten 100 is approaching quickly.
I’ve posted the “entrants list” for the Speedgoat 50k. Make sure you’re name is on it to enjoy the pain of the toughest 50k in the US.

I’m going sledding! But coming home uninjured this time!
Another powder day at Alta!
Sledding is nuts! I’ve seen way too many friends get injured sledding than should be expected. Glad you’re not too roughed up.
Thanks for the update on Buffalo Run. I’m headed up there to run it for the first time so it’s cool to get an idea of what’s going on up there before arriving there Friday. See you out there.
The sled run we have is not the typical “rip down the hill, hit the washboad bumps and crash” type hill. Go back to the 1960’s when the olympic luge run was outdoors with big, very big bank turns. Our banks are about 8′ high. It is about 2 tenths of a mile long, with almost vertical walls. It meandors thru aspen trees. It’s out of control, but very easy to control. When I hurt my rib, I compressed in a turn on a different track. This one is first class.
Karl I was at Alta for the nice POW Monday, damn I love the Utah snow! I hope you knee is good.
are you making odds for the buffalo?
Leo, I just haven’t had time to do any odds for the Buffalo run. I’ll be running an aid station there though, you will see me at Lower frary…twice.
The knee is good George, no worries on that. If it would just stop snowing I could get in some running instead of shoveling.
Наконец-то ЛЕТО!. Надёжный способ, как выглядеть прекрасно!
