patrick, just accept that you're going to feel like a** after 30 miles, then run another 20. You'll be fine! And look at it this way: If you can run 26 after bieking 112, then you should certainly be able to run 26 after jogging 24!

aarun, toying with the idea, ever so slightly.
I've done four marathon distance runs so far-
stonecat trail mary (last nov); boston (april); pineland farms 50K (may); and plymouth ironman (august). also, throw in a 20 miler in feb and a 30k in march.
and, ironman training from may-august.
enough run base you think?

Patrick...sorry it took so long to get back to you. NO, I was a big wuss and didn't do Westernport. I only signed up for the race a few days before so didn't know if I'd be prepared for it. I decided during the bike portion that if I could get a clean line, I'd give it a go as I definitely am more powerful just charging over a hill than zig-zagging. The hill that leads to the wall is 25% grade, I think, so it was pretty crazy as it was. I passed a number of people on this hill on the way to the base of the wall, which put me on the far left side. Everything I've read has said to stay on the right for the best line on this hill (less cracked pavement). There were riders zig-zagging all over the place and I knew I just wouldn't get a straight shot, so I chose the bail out option. I was so worried that I'd break my wrist or something stupid if I fell (after breaking 2 bones in bike accidents)so I decided I wanted to finish more than I wanted a brick. I totally regretted it later, though!!! Two different times I was climbing on some ridiculous hill (if it's any indication I was passing people doing 4.4 mph!) and guys near me asked if I got my brick, and I said no, and they told me if I was climbing like I was on that hill, I could have made it. NEXT TIME!!!

I did swap my cassette for a 12-27 days before the race and am so glad I did. I thought the 27 would be a special treat but I seemed to find it just as quickly as the 25 and ran out of gears before I was ready to do so!

As for bag number 5, I think it's for soylent green. That, and condoms. Maybe peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, too....

One word to describe SavageMan: WOW!!! I have NEVER seen climbs like the ones on this course. I've always loved to climb, so it was tons of fun, but I was a total WEENIE on the twisty, fast descents and lost too much time there! The scenery was beautiful, the race was well organized, and best of all, Aarun was there (great seeing you at the start and thanks for letting me wipe my nose before shooting pictures!!!)

I have done IMLP and IMC and there is not a hill on either course that compares to several hills on this one. If you are looking for a fun, epic-type of event (without all the glitz and some of the pretentiousness that comes with some bigger better known events), you've gotta try this one! My time was 2+ hours longer than my HIM PR (partially due to less fitness and a hamstring injury, so it was not totally course-related, but I bet an hour of it was just due to the difficulty of it). Add it to your list of must-do's!

scoot, isle give you a hint. (Sea the linky.)

And fleet, I had planned to present a thorough post aboot alls the scary terrorists obama invites to thanksgiving dinner, then I realized that that would just be silly. See, in 2000, there were all sorts of ridiculous claims that gore was a liar due to some quotes that were either taken out of context, or flat-out altered. In 2004, there were all sorts of ridiculous claims that kerry was a coward because a few scumbags started a smear campain against him. In 2008, there are all sorts of ridiculous claims that obama is a terrorist because... Well, frankly, because the RNC has realized that they're selling a broken product, and the only way to hang on to power is to try to convince the electorate to be so frightened of the alternative, that they cling to the party that brought us unnecessary war, huge increases in government spending, so much debt that our great-great-grandchildren will still be paying it off, an unprecidented erosion of civil liberties, and the SECOND savings & loans failure in as many decades. If you honestly believe the smear campain that obama is a terrorist, if you believe that mccain is going to pursue policies that will benefit the majority of americans rather than just his financial peers (you know, the kind of people with a few hundred million dollars to throw around, with seven houses and 13 cars), and if you really believe that palin has a snowball's (ez, terry) chance in heck [had to get by the censors] of being able to run this country, then I'm sure there's nothing I can say that will make a dent. (But I have to say, it boggles my mind.)

But yesterday I woke up at 1230pm, went to store with Terry, went back to sleep at 4pm, woke up for Family Guy, went back to sleep, woke up again it was 10am and Rachel Ray had the McCains on, I reserve comment, ok not totally as Cindy McCain said she was happy Palin was on the ticket as she knows the people from the 'Most Dangerous Catch' Show and how now she loves that show and might get to meet them as Palin can introduce them...good lord that whole thing made my head swim and I have no more drugs....ok now I will no longer comment...

fleet, I'd be happy to offer my view, but I'd need to know what I'm responding to first. I assume you're including rev. wright in your list. I agree, he's fairly fringe. But at the same time, comments from a few of his sermons (taken from 20 years of preaching) have been presented as everything the man stands for. Aside from that example, who are the scary people you think represent obama? And aside from that one comment expressing new-found pride in this country, what makes you think that michelle obama hates this country?

Now, how 'bout that mccain? He claims that he's the "change" candidate, yet he's had 35 years in congress to effect change. He has surrounded himself with lobbyists[1], he has picked a running mate who is vastly under qualified, and who, herself, belongs to a fringe church[2], he has criticized obama for advocating a program that would protect children from sexual preditors[3], he cheated on his first wife, and left her to marry a rich, young hottie[4], and he's already continuing bush's policy of preemptively offending other countries with his arrogance and ignorance[5]. Oh, and every time you hear about another financial institution failing, ask yourself if we'd be better off with the plan --- supported by bush and mccain --- to entrust social security to those institutions. It's going to take a long time to undo the damage bush has done to this country. Four years of mccain would be four more years of downward spiral.

fleet, please tell me that you don't actually believe the made up garbage in that lunatic's book! Corsi (the author of Obamanation) also claims that the pope thinks pedophilia is just fine[1]. Do you believe that too, or just the stuff he made up about Obama? And how 'bout that McCain? Hanging out with felons[2], voting AGAINST a bill that would ban torture[3], voted AGAINST a new GI bill[4] (how's THAT for supporting the troops?), and supports a tax plan that favors the very wealthy, at the expense of the working and middle classes[5]. That's right, when you hear McCain talking about how Obama will raise taxes, he's only talking about people who make more than $600,000 per year. But then again, I suppose that's the group of people McCain cares most about[6]. I wish I had time to go on, but the burden of being a liberal is that it takes time to examine the issues and back up arguments with supporting evidence. It must be awfully nice to be able to make outrageous claims that bear no resemblance to reality!
