And to make it even better, it's being run right near my house (5kms to the start and transition area, run and bike legs go 300 metres either side of my house). Really hoping I can do this one (3000 entries it appears, so hopefully won't sell out too quick), behave you achilles!! Bike course is going to be awesome (shutting down a whole freeway for it). I have been watching this news very carefully in the last few days (big buzz over at slowtwitch.com) AND I AM SO EXCITED TOOOOOOO! I just started a thread about it in Tri Talk. I am absolutely in Mister Joe and you can bet I will be sitting at my computer on August 28! Yay for us, you especially! Imagine how excited you'll be when they announce the first annual international Ghoulie Crusher's Get together as well Well it looks like that'll be happening around March 23, then, right??? March 23rd? Hm. That's like, 'years' from now.... |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: August East-West Run/Jog/Wog/Walk Challenge! August is 23% finished! Are *YOU* on track to meet your goal? Here are the current standings: EAST TEAM - 19.70% WEST TEAM - 14.55% BUT looks can be deceiving.... Two members of the West Team haven't logged anything yet (Kendra and Emma). So once they start logging, the West team percentage will increase a lot. As for individual accomplishments, we have: OVERACHIEVERS: DoctorBob18 34.93% owl_girl 27.03% Dimplespoo 25.00% kcarroll 24.06% ON TRACK: rnihill 23.00% Peto_Primo 22.51% D001 22.22% Cottoneyes 19.78% rh8463 19.67% charles-goff 18.75% deehtz 18.70% NEEDS TO GO FOR A RUN/WALK: ceilidh 17.60% tlnewman30 16.67% Hunting Triathlete 16.45% chrisrunzs26 15.23% Casie 14.28% TriAya 5.54% Crimefighter2 1.03% kns57 0.00% Emmanem 0.00% |

Elite 3913 far northern CA | Subject: RE: August East-West Run/Jog/Wog/Walk Challenge! Oh boy! I've been talked into doing the Mt. Ashland Hill Climb next year. It's a trail run. It's 13.3 miles and 5600 feet of climbing. It is the day before my birthday. Help!!!! Here is an excerpt from their website. "The Mt Ashland Hill Climb Run has the second most elevation gain of any continuous hill climb in the continental United States. The Pikes Peak Ascent in Colorado is the only event with more--7,800 feet. We have more elevation gain than even the Mt Washington Road Race in New Hampshire (4,727'). " At least I have a year to train for it! |

Mine was awesome - I won my fight and lots of my friends were there to watch. I also gained a few new fans and for the first time ever I got prize money which was an added bonus Had a good day yesterday, nice ride with a good friend, delicious breakfast out and the afternoon at the beach. Now I'm back in work and still pretty sick to be honest, got a nasty cough that I can't shift. Hopefully 5 days will do the trick and I will be right as rain for the big race next weekend! Congratulations on the win! (And the prize money, too!) |

Extreme Veteran 668 Melbourne | Subject: RE: August East-West Run/Jog/Wog/Walk Challenge! Morning all, Got an extra run session in last night to really bring the tally up, almost 23% now. No run this morning as I got to the pool for the first time in 4 months. All going well should get another run / walk in this evening |
