      Water Crossings? 

       

      None.

       

      MTA:  There are a bunch of road crossings.  They are unable to stop traffic for the race, so please be careful.

          OK so, I won't need a change of socks but will need pepper spray. Got it.

            Ha!  Wrong state.  Don't worry, Perfesser.  As opposed to the race that Hoosier is talking about, this race doesn't have white trash.  It is much worse.  Packers fans.  Don't bring up football during the post-race festivities.  Trust me.

              We hear it from the people of the town they call us...

               

               

               

              Great horny toads.  A Cher reference.  That's weird even by my standards.

               

                Good point.  I will just have to live with two Wisconsin trail runs and no DB.

                 

                Maybe post-FANS when we celebrate your big miles.

                 

                Geeze.  I go to Flying Monkey, DB is a no show. I go to Ice Age, DB is a no show.  I see how you are. Joking

                Live the Adventure. Enjoy the Journey. Be Kind. Have Faith!

                   I hear you can appease them with cheese curds.  When they start to get angry, throw a cheese curd or two their way and they'll forget for a while.  Wink

                    Looks to be mid-50s at start cloudy and low 60s at finish.  If it stays dry between now and then the trail should be in pretty good shape.  This could turn out to be a speedy race track!

                     

                    Everyone run smart - Run hard and enjoy yourselves.

                     

                    Please post Saturday what the results are ~ all the RA results and top 3 men and women.

                      But to be fair - I never planned on doing Ice Age ... and Work stole Monkey Away from me.  But it does not change the facts.

                        Apparently I was correct to pick against him - But I wish he had shown up and took @ 7th place.

                          Rod Bien backed out too.  He "couldn't get fired up".  

                           

                          Apparently none of the the really good ultrarunners can get fired up for Ice Age.  That CR is going to last forever.

                            Mr Bien kicked my ass by almost 3 hours at a 33 miler (Capitol Peak) two weekends ago.  He seemed pretty damn fired up that day.

                              Well that was on the la-tee-dah West Coast.  That's different.  We just have that pancake flat ground and a bunch of chubby shufflers, you see.  The pig farmin' and corn growin' takes up most of our time.
