He threw it down textbook style!  Went out hard, when it hurt-he sped up! 16:24 was the time.  Way to go Halomatic!  Carcinogen Chicken on me!  Anita Ortiz in her first 100 also put the hammer down, not far from a CR!  Way to go Anita, now she just has to smoke everyong at the Speedgoat Read More

The Bighorn 100 starts June 19th.  Am I recovered from Massannutten?  Absolutely!  I feel as though I didn’t even run in Virginia a week and a half ago……scary!  Why am I recovered already?…….because I’m a mutant?  or is it the multiple scoops of Ultragen I consume after every run.  I’ll call it the Ultragen.  Not Read More

OK, so I have been pretty much of a slacker in terms of posting info about anything……..why?
