That's my son and I in the picture at the 2007 Buffalo Run. He's always a big help and a pretty cool kid.
I direct the Antelope Island Buffalo Run, the Mountain View Trail Half Marathon, and the Antelope Island 50K/100K, all on Antelope Island State Park. The website is www.buffalorun.org

| Ran the Mohican Trail 100 mile run in Loudonville, OH. Extremely hot day, mid 90's. Only a 38% finish rate (51 out of 130 starters, I was 42nd) but I was one of them. The winning time was about 4 hours slower than normal. Ran my slowest time ever for this race. 28:43. Part of the slow time was due to lack of long runs prior to race. No real medical issues, bad chafing and a few blisters. Stayed well hydrated thru entire race. Estimate that I drank over 4 gallons of water thru the race. Took electrolytes regularly. No stomach issues, was able to eat although I had to force some food down a couple of times. Heat didn't really seem to bother me, but I like to run in hot weather. I'm sure it was a factor in my slow time as well. I really wanted to quit, expecially at 75 miles, but my wife wouldn't let me. Something about not being injured or close to the time cutoffs, so keep going. When I look back on the race, I'm not sure what got me thru other than sheer stubborness and stupidity. I couldn't come up with a good reason to drop, no injuries, blisters not bad enough, no stomach or hydration issues, nowhere near the time cutoffs. As usual, when I'm in the middle of a race like this, I wonder why I do it, maybe I should give up the 100's, they're too hard, I'm too old, etc., then I cross the finish line and remember why, it's the phenomenal sense of accomplishment that comes with going that kind of distance, that and just being done with the crazy race. Yeah, I'll do it again next year. Hopefully with better training under my belt. Trails were in excellent shape. Usually some mud on the course. There was none. Going to take the rest of this week off and start training for Wasatch. | | |
