Now to make it more realistic, just imagine that person in the pic (ME) getting smaller and further away as time goes by. :twisted: :twisted: :lol:



What you mean you are going to be running before sunrise, to get a head start? That's a good plan cause Doonst is fast :lol: :evil:

AirForceRunner is slower than a 237 yr old dead guy.
next up:


This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

What I see is that this will be your first race of such a distance. Have you ever run 25 K before? Do you have any questions from a wily veteran? Have you ever seen this picture?Image

So...in the tradition of a good shallonge, I'm a firm believer in having a trophy that the winner can proudly display on his mantle. Of course, the trophy must be ugly. Given the chucking thats been going on, the trophy will be for the 25 km race (sorry everyone else), and will be presented to the winner collectively by all the losers.
I'll put something together tonight, but fear not....it will be 'running related :lol:

If you look just right, it appears that Doonst is racing a 10 year old Jerry O'Connell.

Don't worry...he's only beat me in a race once in 8 tries...last year during the NCM 1/2....but I'd run the 5 and 10 the night before and ran out of gas.

So after a brief shopping trip and halfway through assembly, I have to say....this trophy isn't ugly at all, and is actually quite classy. I blame Micheal's craft stores.....they just don't have any 'weird' stuff. :lol:
I knew I shoulda gone to home depot.

A question for those who've run Sulpher before: Being that we're doing 20k loops, I assume there's somewhere I can leave a cooler and drop bag that I can access each loop?
2015 Events:
Pick Your Poison 50km
Sulpher Springs 50 mile
North Face Blue Mountain 50 mile

Somethin' else...
