About Me

  • Running club(s):
  • Rave race:

    Olympia 50K

  • Race that's calling my name:

    Tarawera 100

  • I run because:

    Running=life. To be successful in an ultra marathon one must be disciplined, train constantly, and have the right mindset. Also, one must enjoy oneself, even when one does not have the strength to scale the Mount Zions (Olympia 50K, see above) of the world. Running these races successfully prepares me to master life successfully.

A killer of a race, but killer in the sense of rewarding and amazingly well-organized. In a peaceful, utterly green upper-left corner of the upper left, you’ll be bummed to leave after the race. Anyone who has spent time running races will come to appreciate one organized under the Minimalist principle. Olympia had no starting line or no starter’s pistol, just a huddling and a “ready, set, go!” To offset this, perhaps, the aid stations were loaded to the gunwales with everything any runner, even ones with very specific needs like me, could ever want. This race is HIGHLY recommended, but one trip up despicable Mt Zion will convince anyone that it’s probably not the ideal choice for first time ultras…(I saw the 50-miler sports 2, yes TWO trips up to the top–EGADS!) One of the most rewarding ultras I’ve ever run…
