Tidbits

Howdy All

So, clearly I haven't been posting to the blog much. But the good news, for me anyway, is that I have in fact been running. Probably a relief to those of you with medical training (and therefore a small measure of responsibility for the administration of first aid).

That said, here are some tidbits of information for you - in no particular order.

There are 78 places serving Starbucks within a 5 mile radius of Wayne’s house.

Here is a pretty good description of one man's experience running 'round the mountain .

Wondering about equipment, hydration and general advice from the more experienced Ultra folks in the crowd. Let's here from you. Email me (or just post to the blog) a few sentences about your strategy, gear, food you'll pack etc. Come on - share the wealth. See also: the questionnaire to the right.





















And while we are at it - I want to know who is currently holding the record for the longest training run for this event. I think it needs to be within the last 10 weeks - and you can submit as miles or minutes. Lemme know.

Here is the Sunrise/Sunset times for the day of the run. Run/walk. Walk. Crawl. You get the point. Hours of daylight are included.

October 6
Sunrise: 7:15 AM
Sunset: 6:42 PM
Daylight: 11 hours, 26 minutes, 50 seconds

This just in....a lodging update...Wayne says "Great news - our next door neighbor is going on a year-long sabbatical to explore the world. He has offered his house to us to use as a "B&B" - free of charge - while the gang is up for the suffer-fest (oh, sorry, I mean 'fun-run'). He has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. We should have enough space for everyone, but in the event that people want their own space, there is a B&B across the street, see: http://www.thefultonhouse.com"

It is NOT confirmed that Wayne will be serving breakfast in bed to all guests.
