So the new year is upon us. For all those procrastinators…including myself, it’s now time to pick up where we left off in November. Yah, I ran Hellgate, but it was a “fun run”. I’ve take a minor break this past month, only running about 35 miles a week to recharge the engine. It’s now time to Read More
Just click it: http://www.youtube.com/user/2dirtyshoes#p/a/u/0/Ef9eVfaoABw And a Merry Christmas too! Speedgoat 50k registration starts January 1st…don’t miss out. I’ll be sledding.
It’s that time of year again to sign up for the toughest 50k in town. Last year we closed 2 months before the actual race date. This year I expect to close earlier. We will be accepting 250 runners this year, up 50 from last season. More goats means more fun and entertainment for me. Read More
See what a little cash purse brings……. I’ve decided not to do “odds”, but to rather just make my picks for this year’s North Face 50. With the worldwide talent, it’s gonna be a tough one. I had some help with names from Bryon Powell at irunfar. I let him do all the research, I’ll Read More
Time to start thinking about suffering again! Registration will open on January 1st at 7am MST, at Ultrasignup. Entries will be limited to 250 runners, up 50 from last year. Some decent prize money, and a “bonus” for a record, is on tap this year again. The course will remain the same as last year. I Read More
The Red Bull Human Express is coming to a close. I have one more media tour in NYC the next two days, then I’ll be back to reality and regular life. Some of the info given may be a little confusing to some. 14 lbs of bacon was consumed by myself and crew. I did Read More
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, Read More
First a look at the Wasatch 100 and who’s fast….. 1. Nick Clark 3-1. We have to give Nick the nod. He’s had a great year. 4th at Western 16:05, second at the Speedgoat, ran 4 hours flat at Pikes Peak a few weeks ago. He’s the man to beat, unless Irv’s torture chamber gets Read More
This year we could almost consider this a UTMB stage race. Starting in a downpour 2300 or so runners from all over the world took off from Chamonix on a journey only to be ended quickly at 30k, only about 18 miles into the race. In the lead at the time was Killian Jornet (no surprise Read More
And now we’re off to Italy for the Skyrunning Championships. A 42k run with 4000 meters of climb, yah, that’s bigger than the Speedgoat race. The UTMB race was cancelled due to inclement weather and a possible landslide. Pretty disappointing, but a reasonable decision for the race committee to make. We’ll report back with more Read More
