I http://www.northcoast24.org/ I am 25# heavier than when I ran 147.4 miles in 24 hours June 6-7, so I really do not expect much from this race ... but it will be good way to gain experience for 24 hour racing. A lot of 24 hour Big Dogs are at this race.

It is the US National Champs isn't it DB? Even an out of shape DB will perform well. I believe that our very own DoppleBock is currently ranked No 1 in the US - but, as he says, don't expect another 147 from his this time... he is saving that for May next year.....
Good luck John, you have trained brilliantly for this. The conditions sound good so it's just a case of going out there and enjoying it! I look forward to the usual high quality RR.
Good luck also to Running at Sixty, as well as Jim & Ken in the half at Cowtown - that PR is shaking in it's boots I reckon Ken....
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
Good luck to you John!
You have some solid race experience and times.
Looking forward to your always entertaining RR's!
Go DB!
I'm also confident I'm now old enough and wise enough to pace it sensibly and confident I won't quit when the going gets tough. John

John,
If you need to be old and wise for this sub 3 hour attempt I am in trouble. The training log looks fantasic, the lead-up races have been unbelievably good with multiple PR's, the marathon I am sure you will take in your stride. Here's hoping you have the perfect race and wishing you the best of luck in your marathon attempt.
Jim, Ken and runningatsixty good luck in your races at Cowtown as well. I am sure you will do great.
DB - 24 hours sounds like a nightmare as I ponder my first marathon. Hope that you have a great race and get the kilometres you need

Good luck guys this weekend.
OK, I know some of us are running Chicago on the 11th. A bunch of us in the sub-3 thread over on RW (sorry I cross post) have made a team up for the team competition. We have eight members, but one had to drop out due to medical reasons, so we are down to seven. We can have up to 10, so that would give us three spots...
Look here for info...

I would need to know before 5pm tomorrow..... We are signed up in the male open Blue Division. There's no way in hell we'd place in the Red division.
hehehe... yikes! That would be cool to win womens division... even if it is by default.
E_rainrun's Red womens team may win by default if no other teams sign up.

Congratulations, flatfooter, on smashing through the barrier. Super job on the pacing. Did you change your handle from "flovesparko?" I couldn't find your name on "Hopefuls" but added you to Graduates list.
