2016 Year in Review

December 28, 2016

I’m not really the type of person to spend a lot of time reflecting on the past.  I devote most of my attention to the present and looking ahead to the future.  Thinking back on the year though, I’m filled with a deep sense of satisfaction. 3 for 3 Coming into 2016, my focus was…

December 18, 2016

100 Mile, Moments in Time

Moments in Time: 2016 C&O Canal 100

December 1, 2016

It’s 2am and I’m sitting in a chair at the Nolan’s Ferry aid station.  Normally, this is not a good sign during the later stages of an ultra.  Chairs have magical attractive properties (especially during 100 mile races) such that once your bottom touches them, it’s extremely difficult to extricate yourself from them.  Luckily for…
