I ran with her for awhile during her outstanding performance at the 2010 Equinox Marathon in Fairbanks(i was running the 50k, 4th place 4:17) and we talked about you and the beauty and challenge of Juneau. Rachel was a pleasure to run with and talk with at the finish and I hope she continues with her running.

I like the idea you bring up in Ian Sharman...Geoff,<br />I like the idea you bring up in Ian Sharmans section about race mileage. It is certainly something people should keep track of and consider, especially if they are gearing up for a big race. There is only so much you can physically and mentally prepare for in a given time. One ultra per month seems like too much even (unless you are Karl Meltzer!).<br /><br />Sharman has 25 races for this year alone posted on this blog. Granted, a lot of them are shorter than ultras, but that is a lot. To each their own though.Michael Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06363666115412114720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-81110160442312950072011-02-12T11:29:25.871-09:002011-02-12T11:29:25.871-09:00dvroes,

Tim won Where's Waldo and Pine to Palm last year. His Where's Waldo time was very close to Eric Skaggs record.

He looked me up when he came to visit Boulder last March and we ran together 3 days I think and I have to agree that he certainly is wise beyond his years and has some serious potential. I have been trying to talk him into moving to Colorado ever since, hope he does. Great guy, great runner and I look forward to running with (probably behind) him again.Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.com
