I don't scoff at 50k's. I like 50k's. You can go run a 50k and then get on with your day
But I can't make it for Leanhorse this year. It is, I believe, the weekend before Cascade Crest and I don't have the discretionary income to travel from So. Cal to So. Dakota to No. Washington for races.

McRib - I might be up for 50K or M at LeanHorse. If I get into Across The Years I am ditching IronMan this Fall and just running. LeanHorse would fit well into that plan. I will know May 1st.

I'm always up for Mexican food...which is why I'm a wee be chunky I reckon.

I may still go up and do the 50K at Leanhorse if I'm not still in intensive care after Bighorn. Any takers?

I know that WJ won't lower himself to do a 50K anymore. It's such a pedestrian distance. <scoff>

RR is Saturday February 5th. 100 starts at 6 am, 50 starts at 7 am. 100 has a 30 hour cutoff, 50 has a 29 hour cut off. That is pretty generous. Maybe we could lure Mayor McRib out with that kind of cutoff.

RG - I NEVER had trouble with my toe nails until I did my first or second ultra. Since then it hasn't been pretty. I'd like to finish 100..regardless of the time. RR sounds very doable...something to ponder!

I'd like to try my hand at a hundred where I have a realistic chance to go sub-24. RR sounds like that's the place, since Bighorn and CC are probably not the best places to shoot for that goal.

RR is very close to LOST. We had 2 2-person relay teams this year if any of y'all want to come run that. Half on gravel 2-track for you trail lovers. And I could find you a honky tonk, I'm sure.

Sue was also a witness to my first of 3 falls (I think we were on the back half of the first loop.) My legs were so cold and numb that it didn't even hurt. Roots were bad, but that just made it all the more fun.

RR may be one to think about...not sure if I really want to run 50 miles though. 50K is good enough for me!

My dearest apologies Sue. I did not mean to imply that you weren't there at the site running the course. I only meant you weren't in the vicinity when Mizz continually hit the trail. My apologies for any implication to the contrary.

I would consider coming down for Rocky Raccoon next year. I had a blast there last year. Can we go Honky Tonking again?

WJ = I did my loop at SunMart. At my speed, at least, those trails were runnable...for the most part. But for the blood blisters....<insert the "I could have done it story" here>

I saw the C2M results....ouch. Never anything I'd think about doing.

Rocky Racoon is Feb/March.

"Very Runnable Trails"? ummm Sue, I know you weren't there, but I happened to have witnessed Mizz going down 5 times in 50 miles. I went down once and echoing through the woods all day was the distinct sounds of "thud ... ooof" (kicking a root and hitting the dirt)
When is Rocky anyway? Wasn't it just held?

By the way, they just had Coyote Two Moon this past weekend. 150 starters in the 100 mile/100k combined -- 32 finishers. The weather was a factor apparently, with snow on the course, rain and wind.

Flyboy, you don't want to go there,(long distance runs) turn the other cheek, save you toe nails. RIDE!

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 10:10 AM IP: 12.96.120.10

First of all, I have to second RunnerGirl's toe nail report, she has had nasty toes for the 20 + years that I've known her. That being said, she didn't start running long distance until about 10 years ago and trail running until about 5 years ago so blaming her nasty toes on running doesn't seem quite fair.

I'm interested in trying some of this crazy trail running. First I have to get my wife through her first Ironman and lose about 15 pounds that I've put on in my post IMAZ laziness.

RG,
You missed it. It was really pretty out there. Didn't rain on me at all though the streams were up and the trails were a little muddy. There was only about 2 inches of new snow near the top of Saddleback, but that was only the last mile of the climb.

All in all, it was around 20 miles in 4:50. I felt pretty good. The trail didn't beat me, but I didn't beat it. I call it a draw. I could only run about 40 percent of it on fresh legs and even then, only with a stride length of about 6 inches at a time.

Was able to do a little more than half of the ride outside yesterday. Twister and I hit some hills, but then it started to rain. The lightening and thunder was all I needed to head indoors to finish the rest of the ride. We rode the last hour and a half to the Lake Placid Ironman course with Coach Troy. Brutal hills at the end of that course!

Was able to run outside today. Did a brick and felt pretty darn good. I think I am starting to see all this hard work pay off!

RG,

Running from Holy Jim Canyon. You and Flyboy ought to come up. I imagine you don't want to run the "up" trails but there are some really cool places to run back in the canyons there.
But my route will take me from Holy Jim Canyon, up Trabuco trail to the Horsethief Canyon trail, up that (the asskicking hill) to Main Divide, Main Divide to Santiago Peak and back down Holy Jim Trail to the car. Its about 16 miles on the loop. Sound like fun? The water is flowing back there, so there are streams and waterfalls. It is gorgeous!
