I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

Paced Tim Adams at Hardrock from Grouse Gulch to Maggie's Gulch, 27 miles, 9200 ft climb 8100 loss. Amazing views, incredibly challenging terrain. My duties stretched from 3 am to 3:30 pm, with Cody before and Joe after. Tim was a trooper and finished in 41 hrs 53 min. What mountains, what a race. Highlights were summiting Handie's Peak at sunrise and watching Tim pull a fawn out of quicksand. I'll write more and include lots of pics later. Still on vacation now with almost no computer time the past 3 weeks. Busy weekend- lots of driving, lots of crewing, lots of waiting, lots of pacing, almost no sleep. Fun times.

As best I can tell, I spent 29 hours running/hiking this week, which I think is a record. Almost all of it was on trail. I won't know vert until I can hook my garmin up to my computer, but I think I did probably 30k or more feet, which would also be a record for me. And 29 hours divided by 87 miles means I averaged 20 min miles for the entire week. That would definitely be my slowest average week ever! Lots of new records.

Put a bit of a write up and posted some pics from pacing on my GSR Blog.

Killer. Sounds like an amazing weekend. I was glued to Twitter the whole time.
