We’re about 6.5 days away from Ultrarunning’s “Superbowl”.  We just witnessed the track meet, and it was awesome.  Let’s hope myself and a few other fast guys can entertain the world running around the San Juans. The Top contenders: Speedgoat Karl 2-1.  I give myself the nod as last year’s winner and clockwise record run.  Read More

No doubt this will be the toughest “odds” I’ve ever done.  Picking the winners of this great race is certainly gambling.  The heat plays a huge factor.  A few WS rookies up front stand out as big overall favorites, but it’s a long way from Squaw to Auburn, and anything can happen. Some of the Read More

 ONLY 4 SPOTS LEFT FOR A CHANCE TO RUN THE SPEEDGOAT 50K, register now! A few questions have been recently asked about my new Hoka runnin’ shoes. “Why would I buy shoes that Karl crashed in at Zane Grey?” “Did Karl crash because the Hoka’s have a higher base?” “Did the shoes make Karl stumble?” Like Read More

Hard to say what’s gonna happen this weekend in regards to me running the Jemez 50 mile.  I’ve been officially cleared to run if I want…that’s pretty cool only 4 weeks after a broken wing at Zane Grey.  Will I “race”?  No, not likely, the risk factor is still there if I crash….I tend to Read More

That’s 165.70 in miles!  The Jerker finally has rebounded taking “Fat Boy’s” american 24 hour record down, and Rae Clark’s “absolute american record”…whatever that means. 🙂 !  We’ve been waiting for Scott to do something big….well, he did something big!   Hell of a run Scott!  Congrats on an incredible effort!  Maybe we’ll see you back Read More

Miwok 100K happens Saturday, the field is “pretty solid”. 🙂 Here’s my picks: THE MEN 1. Anton Krupicka 5-2.  We all know if he has no injury issues, he should be gone daddy gone.  He’s been training hard, comes from 8000′ ish and should be able to challenge Mac Daddy’s record if has his day in the sun.

Tom Crawford….the guy I passed with a few miles to go at Moab….just crushed the field at the Leona Divide 50.  LD legend Jorge Pacheco ran second and Ashland’s newest fast guy Nick Lewis slipped under 7 hours to run 3rd.  All three of these times would have won the race many times.  How ironic Read More

By Default?  Yah, while hanging at the Way Too Cool 50k this past weekend, it was quite entertaining to watch the race from the other side of the fence.  I made the best of it and went for a 10 mile run and put myself out on the course to watch where no other spectators were.   Read More

No other run on the planet is quite like the Coyote Two Moon 100.  150 crazy mountain runners get the opportunity to run 100 miles through the beautiful mountains of Ojai, California.  Our pre-race runs at Pt. Mugu state park began the fun.  Pt. Mugu is a cool place, views of the ocean on prime singletrack….a pretty Read More

Valentines day weekend always brings the best race in Moab to the plate.   The Red Hot 50k.  Always a great tune-up and preview of some of the best running in the Rocky Mountain area.  This year is standard procedure.  Noone really stands out to win.  I guess I would be the favorite if looking at Read More
