DD1: I just learned that my running buddy Stephen attempted the Rothrock today and badly injured this leg. He might have ruptured his Achilles tendon - on that first very steep stretch up to the Fire Tower.

Are you planning on coming to do the Eager Seeger HM on June 22 (part of the Tussey Teaser Series)?

 

Sorry to hear about your buddy's injury. That's early in the race but at least it's a little easier to get back out to get help then some of the other parts of the course.

I'd love to come up on the 22nd, but unfortunately I work that day. That's been the story all this year for that series. Hopefully I'll have some better luck with it next year.

I finished the Pengelly no worse for the wear, heel held up fine.  Two and a half months of no running assured me of a slow time, which turned out to be accurate.  I was hoping to get within 10 minutes of my time last year ( which was none too fast to begin w/), I was close @ 15 minutes

qotd when I worked as a backcountry ranger I often helped out hikers w/ grub even occasionally let them stay at one of the cabins in bad weather
