Best of luck to Roly and Grommit this weekend.
I have no doubt that it will difficult and painful. But I also believe that it will be an experience of a lifetime and worth the sacrifice. Looking forward to the race report and pictures.

Random useless thoughts for the Grolys:
- June in the wild = mosquitoes. No zesty shampoo + soap within 24H. Yeah
- Do not, I mean DO NOT, talk to cross-eyed banjo players
- A couple of bandanas = great swipers for unexpected pooh in the bush
- Trees no not move. Bears do. RUN.. ROLLY.. RUN

- There are worst ways to spend a weekend, like.... hummm...
- Always remember: nature is your friend

Good luck to the Grolies! Looking forward to catching you both online ... they should put a timing mat right before and just after Mile 31 so we know how long you lingered to shoot back those vodkas ...

Wow ... 50 miles ... For you two, we will definitely need a celebration ... let me know what works best for both of you and where your preference is and I will organize it

All right you mountain men !
Good news ! there are no Grizzly bears in Vermont, only black bears and they take smallers bites and have slightly shorter claws.
Enjoy the vodka at mile 31 !
And if you see a sign saying '' bienvenue au Canada/welcome to Canada'' you're definitively off course.
The mosquitoes might give you an incentive to run faster.
Oh yeah ... Make sure you keep an eye out for the wild vermont beavers, i've heard story about them chopping down trees on runners. Because Roly, i'm really not that keen on having to mow your lawn...
And oh !... one last thing...have fun

Easygo

P.s. for the rest of you have a good weekend.

Thanks everyone, Enjoying the race and having fun is the plan. Just don't ask in the last miles.

The webcast at runrace will probable not be set up for this race, but we will try and keep you posted.

Chops I don't need to out run the bears I have bear spray that is used by hunters to attract the animals, just need to spray a little on Gro and run the other way.

SS it may be a few weeks before I can schedule a night out.

Easygo, I think I may still need you to cut the grass this week.

Truxx, KZ, TB, you can always start training with us for next year.

DR I'll bring back some mud for you and think of you when I'm chowing down at the BBQ.

Df7 don't worry we will enjoy.

Roly

Roly / Gro.....I'll be thinking of you two as I'm sitting on my sofa downing a Guiness.

Roly. They say bear grease works best on Canada's national bird, the mosquito. If you don't believe me, ask the first bear you come across.

Did you say BBQ? That's good enough reason to go sometime...

as a PHOTOGRAPHER!

Whatever they're charring on that BBQ of theirs had better have 4 legs and prey on smaller animals... none of this veggie stuff, or they will have a hoard of hungry muddy men/women willing to chop up human flesh to BBQ...
