Let the games begin!  Tomorrow morning I’ll be headed out to run approximately 2000 ish miles retracing the steps of the Pony Express Trail.  This run commemorates the 150th anniversary of those crazy mailmen on horses, running mail and messages from Sacramento, California to St. Joseph, Missouri.  It’ll be a long trek, a true adventure, and a mindboggling expedition.  I won’t have any indians to dodge like they did in 1860.  It’s about mental power, dealing with adversity, and simply running all day long.  This is a huge challenge for me….and I’m accepting it with open arms.  So bring it on!! The website will go live TOMORROW morning September 15th once I get the ball rolling.  It’ll be at redbull.com. Tune in tomorrow and track me along as I make my way east to St. Joe!

He’s the man to beat, unless Irv’s torture chamber gets him late.  2.  Kevin Schilling  4-1.  The fastest in Salt Lake this year.  He beat Nick at the Speedgoat 50k, but hasn’t really killed it at 100 miles.  If anyone is due to finally nail Wasatch, it’s Kevin. 3.  Nick Pedatella  5-1.  Another fast kid who’s due to win something bigger.  He’s finished a few 100s close, but hasn’t closed the deal yet.  4.  Matt Hart  6-1.  Matt can run with the best and if he takes the right approach and runs his own race, he may show up in Heber first.  He’s been sleeping [...]
