First, the little love: I gotta thank First Endurance for supporting our Speedgoat 50k.  We went through 16 cannisters of EFS drink on the course, and a whopping 10 cannisters of Ultragen at the finish line!  My only complaint is that too many people said a few days later that they are already recovered.  I Read More

Nick Clark continued his dominating season with another epic win this past weekend in a slick 6:09.50.   Only 3 weeks after Hardrock and 5 weeks after Western States, he continues to lead the way for the US Ultrarunner of the year.  Nick Pedatella finished 2nd a few minutes back at 6:12.02, and Joe Grant, this Read More

Well folks, the course is now marked, and yup, there is still alot of snow, although it’s melting rapidly each day.  A few things you need to know below: 1.  The race is very hard, it’s not  just a “little bit further” than a marathon, it’s alot further than a marathon.  2.  We had to Read More

First off I want to say thanks for everyone who is offering to help me mark the course!  It is super cool to know I have friends to help when I’m down and out right now.  For anyone interested in helping, it’ll probably happen mostly on Tuesday and Wednesday next week, July 26-27.  Contact me Read More

The Western States 100 will certainly be a great race to watch.  Put your reading glasses on folks, this one’s gonna take a while.  If I pick em’ even remotely close, it’s all luck, cuz’ it doesn’t get any tougher than this one, and all my research on every runner listed below comes straight off Read More

Yep, there is still 147″ of snow at 9600′ on the Speedgoat course.  That’s alot, runners may be bumping into skiers come race day.  Won’t that be entertaining! The race is now full, but we are accepting those still interested to join the wait list, typically we could have about 35 runners on that wait Read More

Only 3 spots remain for a chance to run the toughest 50k in town.  Only 11,693′ of vertical gain to entertain you.  Some snow, some rocks, some really ugly trail is all we need for a full day’s work.  Expect the course to have some snow, but don’t expect it to change because of it.  Many areas Read More

Thirsty? what do I mean? This past weekend I was in Virginia to run the Massannutten 100 miler. It is one of my favorite courses. It is rocky, technical, somewhat hilly, and difficult to say the least, for the “average” 100 mile runner…right up my alley. This was to mark my 5th time running this Read More
