Well, I'm got down to Colorado on Monday and was picked up by my running partner Phil Villenueve and our massage therapist Chris Maynard. Phill called me about 4 weeks ago and said "hey, I'm Phil from Canmore, I hear you are ok at ultras, I have a free entry into Transrockies, want to come and race as my partner?" I said yes. But before that, I kind took time off, had a few too many late nights, was going to NYC to see two Dj's and stay up till sunrise. So not optimal training.
So I rushed some hill repeats in, did Stormy 50 miler and I'm here now.
Phil is a national x-cross country skier from Canmore and all around fast guy. He won the Powderface Trail Marathon this summer with a CR.
So, now we are here at 9000-11000 feet getting acclimatised. We've done a one hour run, 1:45:00 run and 2:15:00 today. Starting to feel a bit better. The race starts on Sunday and some real fast ultra guys have entered the last few days so it will be fun!
