Oh and what hour of running do you have? Maybe I could link up with you for it. I have a somewhat busy few days ahead but if I can fit it in and you want the company maybe.

Notice I put up the 24-hour finish buckle and not the sub-31 hour buckle?

That's what you guys should track--if I go sub-24 or not :)

Hehe... I definitely noticed. That's some chore you have assigned yourself. Is this a solo supported race with event support along the way or do you get a crew that can follow with you for nutrition?


I've got a race crew of 5 taking good care of me at each checkpoint. After mile 50, I can have one of them with me as a pacer. They're going to take turns pacing me through the night portion. I'd liek to go sub-24 and my training has had me on pace to do so but there's no telling during the first one. My primary goal is to finish.

Rock out the show Toby!


Jimmy,

you and I could start gearing up (with Toby) to do the Leadville 100. http://www.leadvilletrail100.com/. I want to do one of these.

Awesome Toby.


Elvis,

2009 is a good possibilty and I would love and accept the challenge. I could hit a few small marathons that are local and a 50 miler along the way and then just continue. I would have to check with Liz but I am sure she would be supportive.

Jimmy

Re: Good Luck Toby!

Nice buckle! You're going to have trouble hauling that thing around after 100 miles.


Nice video of Jimmy too. Jimmy, I have the urging-on-the-crowd part down but I'll have to practice that little sideways dance.

Re: Good Luck Toby!
Here's my final video, sorry it took so long. I learned that with Active Video, you can't rename the file after you download from the camera to the computer before uploading to the video player for some reason. Without further ado:

Re: Good Luck Toby!

Toby! I love these videos! I love that the second one is like .... "Person X.... Person Y... Jimmy, MCM Community.... Dean Karnazes, Ultramarathon man" !!!!! So awesome!


As far as the race this weekend, Toby with all my heart I wish you nothing but the best.... lots of good luck, good weather and fun. I can't wait to hear a race report. I know your training will get you far, and your heart, head and the good karma that's coming your way will probably help, too :) You are signed up for what will be an incredible experience this weekend!

Re: Good Luck Toby!
Not that, but the 2nd one stops maybe 15% in and won't go any farther. 1st one works fine. I am at work though. I'll have to see if it works at home.
