MY GIRLS
Neat new look for the website:) Good luck!!! I know you will do awesome!!! Maybe even get a new course record? I will keep my fingers crossed.
Best,
Tammy
Tammy- You are always so kind and so supportive. The primary objective of any Ultra is finishing. And this guy is no where near any course records but thank you for having such confidence in my abilities!!
Oh and I also don’t know if this template is staying because you the reader have lost quite a few features to access things. I need to figure out how to get those back. Things like recent posts, search and subscriber option. I’ll be working on this on my “free time” yeah right!
George,
Not that you need it, but best of luck! Truly an incredible feat, taking on the Everest Challenge and Furnace Creek back-to-back! Looking forward to your race report.
Matt
George,
Nice job on finishing first in the Death Valley Double!
I am part of the Bloodhound Team – I remember you from the year before when your team car had a tire blow-out and we brought you a bottle from your team – wish we could have done more.
Hope to see you again this year at the 508!
Cheers,
Kurt
Hello Kurt,
Thank you for reading my blog.
Umm…this year’s 508. That’s up in the air right now. 2010 I did my 5th consecutive SOLO finish. I made a goal 5 years prior of completing 5 SOLOS and then that would be it. However, I still have unfinished business “out there”. I have always wanted to get under 36 hours and the closest I have gotten is 37 hours 34 minutes. Soooooo….I might come race one last time. I’m feeling good now and if I can keep riding I might have 36 hours in me this year. 😉
Cheers,
george
