For the TNF Race, I think Caitlin Smith is racing along with Chris Lundy. Each could give Kami a run for the money. Glad people like the run scout, let me know what race you’d like to see next…

Can't wait to see your odds. Many lessor known studs in the runner list. Watch for Chikara Omine as a dark horse - boy knows the trails and is a consistently fast local lad. VERY difficult to bet against Mackey in this race. Hurry up back from shopping! Can’t wait to see your odds. Many lessor known studs in the runner list.

I'll be needing a winter retreat for some dirt if you have some during those months. Sounds like you are doing what I did last year, just going to "watch" first hand in the race. Have fun with it Dave, yah, I'd look at Anita as one of the top 2-3. Definately. Kami has to be the favorite cuz' of last year and her great season this year. It is scary to look at all the fast times this year, it's kind of been a breakthrough year. Even I ran Hardrock 2 hours faster than ever before. That blew my own mind, then wasatch. So really, who knows what lies ahead. We will miss Anton and Matt, and of course Kyle if he was ready. I would just be in it to watch, I can't keep up with you guys. Maybe I could win another Masters award. Last year I won a place in the masters division, so they sent me home with a pair of shorts and a shirt, big enough to fit an elephant. The shorts went down to my ankles...what is this ghetto hoops? I've been a busy slacker, but hope to throw in my two cents this evening, after I go shopping! I’ll get there Hal!

If anyone can keep up with Uli ill be surprisedbut this has been a year of astonishing times. You still need to get ass to Ashland.

I like it. This site is correct about the technical rating of a 2 being soft; there is plenty of gnarly, slippery footing;I'd give it a 4 personally. The recent change in the course really doesnt change the amount of single track. If anyone out there is running it I would for sure know all the trail junctions and carry a map: I've learned the hard way on those trails. Won't comment on men's winners as I am biased, but for the womens you have to pick Kami. If Anita shows then I pick her. Helen C for 3rd. Man I wish Matt and Anton were coming (and Karl of course).. that'd be a fun day ! That runs scout site is way cool! I like it.

New course profile is here http://therunscout.com/2009/11/endurance-challenge-championship-50-mile/ So even less singletrack then before.

I'll do odds today sometime. Yes! Ben and Leigh are on my radar, and thanks Evan for Chris Lundstrom's entry onto my list! :-) I won't be there, I'm waiting for Chimera to travel. I keep thinking I'll drive over there to watch, still a slim chance this speedgoat will be hanging on the ridge. :-) We'll see. Hopefully, the list I work with is somewhat complete! I'll try and find out about Anita, it would be an awesome 1-2 punch for her with the Western Win. Keep the names coming! I’ll do odds today sometime. Yes!

He should easily have the most leg speed of anyone in the race. Do not forget about Chris Lundstrom from Team USA Minnesota. He should easily have the most leg speed of anyone in the race.

I have admitted bias but Ben is killer on hills and Leigh is due to get a big one. 10K on the line may get a lot of foot turnover. I hope The Lung is not hurt but who knows besides him and the grapes. If he is hurt, I would rather not see him run. His mantra, when it hurts go faster could be dangerous. Good strategy, you only admit weakness if you are willing to run faster, limits whining! Any word on whether Anita Ortiz is running? Along with You and Matt she is my favorite, no BS! I hope NF covers the race better than the pre-race. I still would bet on you but I wish I won my bets. Ben Nephew & Leigh Scmitt are my hometown (regional) favorites.
