This sunday on the history channel you can check out what it was like at the Rock and Ice ultra I competed this last March.  watch the show Ice Road truckers and you'll see what it's like at -40 and below. here's a link the the web page.  http://www.history.com/minisites/iceroadtruckers 

 

 

Well It's been a crazy two weeks and an awesome way to kick off the summer.  Tina Ure who I finished the HURT 100 with in Hawaii invited me down to California for a little summer warm up.  We ran the Silver State 50 mile in Reno, ran the Western States training run in Auburn and did a 28 hour custom 3peaks run i

I survived!  I’ve had a shower and smelling much better.  It was an amazing experience and have made some great new friends in the process.  I’ll fill you all in when I get back in a few days.  I’m holding my comments about ending the race short.  I’ll just say I was not in on it! 
Thanks for all the interest   

Hey again,  The race is on! But Dave is walking away with my Diamond I'll have to see what I can Do. Feeling good but not fast.  Have you seen the temps up here Burr! they keep telling us that it's going to warm up.  Ha!

 

Hey everyone tomorrow is the big day.  300k in the froze north.  you'll be able to follow me at http://www.sleepmonsters.com and rockandiceultra.com Not to cold for pants yet ; )

What a club! If you’ve been fortunate enough to make it to an event you’ve probably taken home a prize or two from one of there many generous sponsors. Well I believe I just hit the jack pot. “But you might think otherwise”

I’ll start out with the prize and then tell you the story. How’s this for a prize, a free entry into the Rock and Ice ultra worth $2,500!! What is the rock and Ice ultra? It’s a 300k six day stage race over the frozen landscape of the Northwest Territories. Starting March 17^th in the town of Yellowknife.

My run of the Cascade crest classic 100 mile endurance run.

I’ve tried to sit down and write up a story on this run but it’s been hard to put 27 hours and 100 miles in a short story. So here’s my best. My first memory of the weekend was the three of us John Karl and myself camping out the night before Gipsy style in a parking lot off the side of the freeway. Where I got to see how experienced ultra runners relax the night before the big race (they drink beer) no big surprise.
