Oh the Pinhoti Trail!
This weekend I’ll be at the Pinhoti Trail 100 down in Alabama. Roch Horton are running for team Utah. My wife Cheryl will be crewing, keeping us efficient throughout. It should be a pretty good race with about 5 of us thinking about winning the thing. I have some periformis issues, but hope for that to get numb by mile 40 so I can start running. It’s been a little shifty after a short 5 mile run about a week ago. But I’m not gonna sandbag….I know I’m the favorite. 🙂
Also check out the Mountain Masochist 50 mile in Virginia this weekend as the field seems to be real competitive. Through the grapevine (but not confirmed) Geoff Roes, Anton Krupicka, and Valmir Nunes should be on the list. Jasper Halekas should also give these three some problems. I was gonna do odds, but because these three aren’t on the runners list, I decided to bag it and think about Alabama. If I were to pick anyone, I’d pick Anton, then Geoff right behind. Valmir is probably the fastest guy in there, but his trail experience is nothing compared to Anton, Geoff and Jasper. We’ll see if Mr. Badwater can hang with some trail junkies.
Gotta go, cuz’ I got a flight to catch.
