Comments on: Twin Peaks Ultras Re-Cap #35 http://www.therundown.net/2010/03/twin-peaks-ultras-re-cap-35.html For the Real Story Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:39:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Kirk http://www.therundown.net/2010/03/twin-peaks-ultras-re-cap-35.html/comment-page-1#comment-523 Kirk Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:33:33 +0000 http://www.therundown.net/?p=698#comment-523 I was about to rant and rave over being reminded of last year's Twin Peaks 50-miler, but then you went and complimented the abs. I mean, really, how am I supposed to be indignant after that? The abs are, I must confess, a mere memory much like that race in December '08. You gentlemen continue to maintain the premiere blog on the web, and that's a very good thing. It is, after all, my chief source of entertainment. Keep up the good...no, make that great...work, you guys! I was about to rant and rave over being reminded of last year’s Twin Peaks 50-miler, but then you went and complimented the abs.

Bud Phillips (along with Andy Kumeda) are tough cookies who also happen to be the only ones to finish the 50 miler 3 years in a row. Michelle - that sure is great behind Keith in that pic. Sorta like "where's waldo" but look for the hair instead of stripped shirt :) Brian is a superstar and I'm looking forward to his Co-Rding with me at TP2011! Great report guys – very funny!

I second the amazingness of The Krobot! We chatted during the 6.5 mile ITT climb about his injury and such. I was able to catch up to him at the Bottom of W Horsethief and even momentarily pass him. Then out of Holy Jim he was gone. There's something to be said about the 40 lb weight difference between us. LOL. Goldie it was great to see you out there first thing in the morning as I was stretching. When I saw we had the same INKnBURN "Run or Die" it was like WonderTwin Powers activate...form of UltraRunners ;-) Larry Goddard deserves some props too. He pushed me down the final 6.5 only because 1) It was dark and I didn't want to turn around and see who it was chasing me 2) Since he was right on my heels for most of the way down there was no way I was gonna give up. Good job bro, way to bring it home strong! Katelyn is a sweetheart young runner with awesome potential in racing and the arts. I learned at SJT50K that she is a musician. She also put together a really awesome video of her Twin Peaks odyssey. You go kid! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzD5gU1ea9Y Big shout out to all the volunteers that supported us and stuck it out for hours on the mountain. Theresa Apodaca, George Velasco, were a couple I recognized. Nice to see you both out there :-) Not sure this link will work, but it's my first hand race recap. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?v=box_3&ref=profile&id=1617032959#!/note.php?note_id=316381169832 My first Ultra that I didn’t get chick’d!!!

Happy Birthday Goldie!!! I'll buy you a new green outfit. Bad Rat Rick shaw pulling Deano started the year off rocking the WTRS and winning Twin Peaks 50k and winning the SJT50k. He's a true champ and his hair looks fabulous. Alison Wenster is amazing and a total sweetie. Her hubby and daughters were so proud of their Mommy's first ultra finish. Alison has her eyes set on IRONMAN later this year, but I have a feeling she is loving ultras. As Keith Swiatkowski's official babysitter, I am quite proud of my INKnBURN teammates 10th place overall finish at this bad boy of a race!! Do I see Goldie running behind you in the picture? Of course, I can't miss the freshly coifed hair. Brian Krogman was born to run 100's, he's just a phenominal runner. Brian is going to do amazing at Badwater.
