This is super cool. Kids have been geeking out on it.
Great post by Gordo.
Latest episode of Lucho’s show. Interesting stuff on Vitargo.
Latest episode of TalkUltra. Just started this one.
I am enjoying these simple lessons from Ed A.
Well done video …
Back down out of the hills today. I actually came down yesterday. JV called me Friday night and offered up an invite to a huge run that he, Tony, Joe and John were doing in the Missouri group. It would have been a great outing. But I passed. I had a bunch of excuses: the start was early and I’d have to get up at 4 to meet those guys, I had tree work to do, I had to get back to Broomfield, I probably could not have kept up with those guys in the mountains, etc, etc. All of those are sort of true but TZ called bullshit on it appropriately. I am not sure why really, but I often find excuses pretty easily when it comes to lining up with those sort of events. Probably some psychology in that.
Speaking of psychology … I love Macca’s honesty as a mental tactic when discussing Lance. Of course, he said this before LA won the Kona 70.3 today.
Comrades this weekend as well. Listening to the TalkUltra podcast referenced above, you got to wonder if the road ultra (other than that Badwater stuff) will capture the imagination and passion of the US public the way trail ultras like Hardrock, Leadville, Western, etc have. Seems that once you go above 26 miles, you are interested in dirt exclusively versus asphalt. Very few guys around like Bob S who seemed to specialize in the road ultra (arguably, Jurek did both the trail and the road stuff). Clearly in South Africa however, a road ultra is king.
Any old folks going to the Czech Republic next year?
