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 not eat ALL of it.  I typically ate about 1-2 pieces every morning.  I think if I ate 14 lbs of bacon, I would smell like bacon!   After reading about my sponsor love, check the stats at the bottom.  Some cool stuff and numbers. Some real Sponsor love below, without these guys, this would not have happened! And here’s why it all worked: Red Bull:  What can I say about Red Bull.  I consumed a total of 143 cans in 40 days.  Typically I would sip about 1/2 can at each stop.  Occasionally I [...]

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 last year’s results, but with my last 2 months, I have no idea how I’ll do.  I think the record will easily remain intact, making it a better race for the leaders.  Many of us are in the same league.  For me it’s all about the tune-up for the Coyote Two Moon 100 on March 6th. RED HOT RESULTS FOUND HERE  ……it went pretty well!  Off the couch. In the meantime, check out the preview of Backcountry.com’s semi annual sale. Lots of stuff 60% off.  Mostly winter gear….you know the routine, time to blow out the [...]

Just a few more days till registration goes live for the Speedgoat 50k!  Reserve your spot for the toughest 50k in the US.  After some new mapping, I’ve found there to be 11,945′ of climb and descent. Throw in a few rocks, snow, scree, billy goats on the ridge, and 200 crazy runners, and we’ll have a race for $500 bucks! We are also close for the announcement of “Ultrarunner of the Year”.  There’s been lots of talk about last year, and how many stellar performances there were.  They were everywhere, from the flats to the mountains.  Big wins with big comp, big wins with little comp, fast performances all around.  Who’s it gonna be?  We’ll find out in a few weeks at Ultrarunning.com.  Next year?  Still somewhat debating, but I’ve managed to send in 3 apps so far…..Hardrock, Mt. Blanc, and Wasatch.   The only tough one is Mt. Blanc.  Hardrock and Wasatch are [...]
