I was too, for the first time in a while, being somewhat rested. Anton would have smoked me, but I think somewhere in the mid-high 16's is doable for me. Funny how that year I was invited and it got cancelled, I had my chance for fame! :-) Big G, absolutely, Anton was ready to go. I was too, for the first time in a while, being somewhat rested.

Had the race not been cancelled he would have given the CR a real test.

Cuz' everyone is gonna be watching him and expecting him to smoke it. Western is the race with the most pressure, and alot of top runners have gone down there when they were expected to challenge for the win. Haven't seen how well he does in 110 degree weather yet, that's always a factor. I'll be watching, but not racing. I can't get in. :-) JB, I know he’s fast, it’ll be interesting to see if he’s “carpenter-esque” or will fall to the pressure. Cuz’ everyone is gonna be watching him and expecting him to smoke it.

This one could be hard to pass up. Sorry to hear about the Chimera blowout...those conditions are guaranteed every 2 to 3 years on saddleback. Not a good time for a 100 miler. I'm surprised they chose December. Snow, scree and billy goats? This one could be hard to pass up.

Might as well throw in a another 55ft. of climbing to make it an even 12,000. What a great race you put on. Might as well throw in a another 55ft. of climbing to make it an even 12,000.

I hope I could meet you in Chamonix on August! I'll be there for reporting and cheer :-) Bonnes fêtes, Stéphane -- I hope I could meet you at Hardrock too, but the lottery is not as easy than for UTMB! Yes!

Whichever race(s) you decide to do, there is no doubt you will put your best hoof forward. Nice to see you have the support backing you as well. No doubt you've earned and will continue to earn it. A little down time doesn't hurt anyone, but I know what you mean by wanting to get back out there and do what you do best and enjoy. Happy New Year to ya!!! Thanks for the update Karl!
