Given to me by Harry Harcrow a few years ago when I paced him at Leadville for a very long and torturous 25 miles from Fish Hatchery to the finish. Picked for color coordination purposes only. Not too many electric yellow pieces in my arsenal.<br /><br />Aaron - you could start by switching your Tuesday night venue from Tempeh Tuesday to the $2 microbrews at the TH. <br /><br />Meghan - might be a new line for the iRF store.<br /><br />Pete - send AJW a case of brews with your suggestion for UROY. That should do the trick. I hear he has clout over there. <br /><br />Rick - spaced on that email. But, yeah, bring it! You'll have to find a mile stretch of similar proportions: 720-750 feet of vert on variable grades with decent footing. Keep us posted. <br /><br />This could be the start of something big. Just think, we could have regional heats with a championship race to crown a national king and queen. Sponsorship potential is huge - we could put together the biggest purse the competitive drink/run circuit has ever seen. Patrick, I think you're on to something, buddy.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-71047857085539488622011-12-16T18:56:08.094-08:002011-12-16T18:56:08.094-08:00Well done Nick. 12:15 is stout as well as 13:00.

Looking to do ours on Jan 8th, I think. We'll post the results and see if we can beat a 12:15 and or 73:54 for our top 5.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735344836109298541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-72077606013938903202011-12-16T18:37:33.596-08:002011-12-16T18:37:33.596-08:00No brownie for this?
