Well - we've got one month to go. Hope the miles are treating you all well. We are still 16 strong, with Daniel “The Brain” Ruegg joining us this week. I should also point out that Carter went ahead and started the course today, providing himself with sufficient time to finish along with everyone else on the afternoon of 10.6.07. ;-)
I wanted to introduce you guys to two of our Brave Souls, and as far as I know the only guys actually bringing along their next-of-kin. Brothers Sean & Tony Moreland are depicted below. Sean is the sweaty, Irish-looking one. As is Tony.
Tony writes:
"It all starts with my favorite word. "masochist" = someone who obtains pleasure from receiving punishment. For years it's been a guiding light to my life. However, over the past 5 or so years, I have somehow convinced my brother Sean that this is his path to euphoria as well. He's joined me on some fairly painful events in the past, but this by far will be the most excruciating he has experienced. I am tagging onto his strength this time around and look forward to the full day of non-stop excruciating pull of the mountain."

Also wanted to mention that I've been running with the Nathan Sports HPL-020 pack, depicted below. Pretty great pack I think (Master Will - thank you for ordering those). Super light, you barely know it's there even with 2 liters of water. Not a ton of storage for things like a jacket or poncho - but there is room for gels, bars, GPS etc. Plus, chicks dig them. Chicks totally dig ultra-running, and the gear that comes along with it. Right? Yes? I was told chicks dig it.
More soon -
