So maybe it is not unnamed?<BR/><BR/>It is definitely hardcore,though, which no doubt pleases John Storkamp, but also is tough as nails kinda like Scott. Anyway, it's a good way of giving Scott credit as a retired RD of Afton.<BR/><BR/>Phillip Gary Smithphillip garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533377127734277639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127193214128884628.post-9469170382343455672008-06-30T10:30:00.000-05:002008-06-30T10:30:00.000-05:00I think Alicia and Jeffrey live on the Afton cours...I think Alicia and Jeffrey live on the Afton course. They're there every Saturday and Sunday I've been there.<BR/><BR/>I've been running midday, trying to acclimate, but it looks like Afton's going to be a lot cooler than last year.<BR/><BR/>The meatgrinder never seems to be a problem for me; I struggle with the unnamed hill between Nigel's and the campground.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127193214128884628.post-79158798659502693172008-06-29T11:02:00.000-05:002008-06-29T11:02:00.000-05:00Nice blog brother.

The stretch of grass leading up to the #5 Aid station, manned by a very capable crew including Ms. Alicia and Jeffrey, was mowed on my Saturday morning tour. <BR/><BR/>Thinking maybe the mower had made it to snowshoe came quickly to a halt as only the runner's cut through the thick, tall grass was apparent. <BR/><BR/>And it was wet, you bet.<BR/><BR/>We'll see if Santa RD John Storkamp gives us that present . . . not a sigh, but a scythe. <BR/><BR/>Don't be surprised to race <BR/>au naturale' with grass up your, well, backside.<BR/><BR/>I would have enjoyed your whistle better if it had been of the <BR/>'wolf' variety :)<BR/><BR/>I do predict record times for both ultra classes, perhaps multiple finishes under the four hour bogey.<BR/><BR/>Phillip Gary Smithphillip garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533377127734277639noreply@blogger.com
