I'll be pulling for you at Hardrock, if you get in. If you do, it'll add an extra element to an already strong field. Shaping up to be a bunch of talented guys who seem to be fairly equally matched - will make for good 'spectating'.<br /><br />Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna take a stab and see what happens.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-29446919814683982002009-06-17T18:58:38.512-07:002009-06-17T18:58:38.512-07:00Nick,

I had a last minute change of plans that was unavoidable. I guess I'll have to pull out of these couple weeks of taper and ramp back up in hopes of getting in Hardrock. It was great meeting you up in BV even if you made my legs hurt a little more, and I've enjoyed finding your blog.<br />Have fun up there--I'm pretty sure you'll surprise some folks if you run confident. <br /><br />--John AndersonJohnny Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18284445742192068491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-2312674434505339062009-06-17T10:01:45.208-07:002009-06-17T10:01:45.208-07:00Good luck Nick!Good luck Nick!Speedgoat Karlhttp://www.karlmeltzer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-56004209517619259832009-06-13T20:56:29.297-07:002009-06-13T20:56:29.297-07:00Brownie - Thanks, man!

Just this once, I've got a full car going out with me to Sheridan. Let me know if you still can't find a ride, as there's an armada heading out from Fort Collins, so I'm sure someone has a spare seat. I'd be happy to find out for you. RE: hunting, as long as it gets eaten I have no problem; trophy hunting is a different story.<br /><br />Ryan - Thanks for a great party last weekend - and congrats again - we all had a great time, especially Alistair. I think he's going to grow up to be quite the lady's man - if he can learn to keep his pants on in public :-) That is indeed a classic shot of the bearded one!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-4081160763613343702009-06-13T09:59:23.348-07:002009-06-13T09:59:23.348-07:00i love the pic of goding! magazine front cover wor...i love the pic of goding! magazine front cover worthy for sure! i was hoping to hear about the duel between you and hanson on the long course at h-tooth...next year? think positive thoughts with the taper/recovery-it will come together. great to see you and the fam at our wedding, ali is a riot! <br /><br />-burchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-66359673238526269702009-06-13T09:16:50.963-07:002009-06-13T09:16:50.963-07:00also, I think the bear pic (and killing wildlife i...also, I think the bear pic (and killing wildlife in general) is moronic.Local Mind Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06676782580566794924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-28625421221010262342009-06-13T09:14:51.613-07:002009-06-13T09:14:51.613-07:00I've got some nice sideburns going and had a g...I've got some nice sideburns going and had a good "soul patch" (as Will Ferrel calls it) but thought I looked ridiculous, so shaved it.<br /><br />Still on the fence about bh. Had a good run up s. boulder peak with the guys on thurs night but knee hurt progressively on the descent. Thinking if I walk A LOT, I should be ok. Still need a ride to Sheridan (and back) though, so that seems to be the biggest obstacle at this point.<br /><br />Good luck to you Nick. I think if you stay with Karl, you'll do great. He has such a solid, even pace that you can't go wrong staying near him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-90934524780256975282009-06-13T06:47:07.240-07:002009-06-13T06:47:07.240-07:00Good luck up there!Good luck up there!browniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505392867686096325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-82168829123881128342009-06-12T10:53:28.833-07:002009-06-12T10:53:28.833-07:00Yeah, I'm thinking I might go with orange atti...Yeah, I'm thinking I might go with orange attire next weekend, just to be on the safe side.<br /><br />Facial hair seems to be especially prevalent among Colorado ultra guys for some reason. I think we're all trying to conform to the rugged mountain-man look. Tim is simply showing his non-conformist side by shaving on a regular basis.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-89791972905988184312009-06-12T10:00:58.428-07:002009-06-12T10:00:58.428-07:00Wow, that Bear picture is epic.

That is Christmas Card Material for sure!<br /><br />Also, I've noticed that facial hair and ultra runners are positively correlated.<br /><br />Thus, Tim you need to grow a beard before the race.Run Coloradohttp://www.runcolo.comnoreply@blogger.com
