Having volunteered my services as a pacer for Jess for the last quarter of V100, it had occurred to me that we'd be doing this section in the dark.

What hadn't occurred to me was that while I have run from Cleveland to Deep Cove in various sections I had only run them during the daytime. Given that Miwok 100k was my last bit of night trail running (May 3rd) and that V100 was coming up the next weekend, my training window was becoming exceedingly smaller.

This past weekend I traveled down to mt shasta for the 2nd annual three peaks adventure run. the goal was to climb mt shasta run to and up black butte and then over to the summit of mt eddie. covering 50 miles and more elevation gain and loss then seems humanly possible. this years run was a success! you can read more about it on my blog http://extremeultrarunner.blogspot.com/ should have a full report up this weekend

Only days to go until the 4th running of the hardest 100km run anywhere. It's time for all the custom runners to sign up for any distance long and not so long.  I was on the trail last Sunday and took some pictures including this one:

Well, that was an interesting experience.

I learned a few things from the Host's perspective which I'll get into detail a little later.

6:54am: I get a call from Rob wondering where I am (as I'm doing 70km/h on the Mamquam FSR) Note to self: Make sure your family knows to call 911 instead of calling you in case of emergency and try to maintain some sense of self control when going to a BBQ the night before an event, especially if you're the event Host.

Some of you might have noticed that over the weekend you were unable to post to the CFA website. We apologize for this unplanned hiccup. Our host company did some work on their servers and the anticipated 30min downtime turned into a "read-only" website for us.

Everything should be fixed now and I am eager to hear how Baldy's Bonkfest and Bill's and Tim's Adventure Run panned out.

For anyone who may have been out to race the Diez Vista 50k in April you would have noticed a camera guy all over the course...yes it was just one guy! His name is Brett Daly and he recently contacted me to say that his race video was completed. I ordered a copy and must say that I think he did an amazing job

Well...I did it....I signed up for the 24 hour Relay at Swangard Stadium this coming June 14th & 15th. With a little help from 95 Crave FM, I managed to secure an entry into this event for a great cause. I've always wondered about running in a 24 hour event, but the thought of circling the same 400m track like a hamster has always been the proverbial "line-in-the-sand" as far as protecting my (limited) sanity went. This event gives a bit more variety in that it covers a 4.5km stretch of pathway, track, & trail...it's also pretty darn close to home.
