After a 7 year absence from the ultimate 100 mile race, I made the runners list! Only 140 runners get to line up for the big daddy of hard core trail 100′s! I’ve seen a lot of familiar names on the list, any fellow speed goats heading up early to acclimate? I will be at Red Mountain Pass on June 27 until race day. This is were Karl Meltzer and I camped the year 2000, in fact Karl has named this camp Speed Goat. He has set on this ridge before acclimating and waiting to rock that course like he has so many times! It will be strange not seeing karl at Hardrock but he will be preparing for the AT record! Start training, this course takes a toll on you!

We’ll see you there…Karl will be missed for sure. Maybe Deb and I will stop by camp to say hi.

Look forward to it! I do not think I have ever meet Deb!
Scott –
So P S Y C H E D to see your name on the list, since it seems you have had some bum luck in recent lotteries.
I won’t be camping up on the pass, but doing my best to get up high early and often.

Dude,
How many tickets did you have for the HR lottery?
Congrats Scott. I was also super lucky to make it in!!! I’ll be in the area early as well. Training begins… just as soon as I get over this cold.
I had a lot of tickets!!!3-4-5??

My husband made it in on his first try. Really surprised him. He usually does a fall 100. Now he set my treadmill up on stands and at the highest level. He is on there every morning. Wish I could harness that energy to pay my electric bill.
He sounds dedicated, great job getting in the race!
Jeff Nielsen?
Yip, that is him.
C-ya in July!! Red mountain pass, stop by!
Scott
How many times will we flip-flop this year? Congrats on your entry. See you in July (if not before.) Bummer about the shoulder. Any advantage I can get to keep up with the old man…
There you are, I was just looking for your e-mail! c-ya at Squaw Peak!!
