Rocky Rac. soon

Feb 4—2010

I’m on my way to Huntsville State Park, near Houston, to put my perfect lifetime record in Texas ultramarathons (previous races: Houston Ultra Event Weekend 100K and Sunmart 50) on the line at the Rocky Raccoon 100. I’ll be sharing the trails with several hundred other runners (split between the 100-mile and 50-mile races), including my pacers John Reynolds and Paul Terranova (Meredith’s husband) and top female competitors Connie Gardner, Jamie Donaldson, and Anita Ortiz. I haven’t met any of those five except for Connie, so that will be interesting.

Here are a few pertinent links:

* Karl Meltzer handicaps the field (he picks me and Jamie to win)
* EnduranceBuzz.com offers details on Karl’s picks

Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your big win, Doogie! Still undefeated in Texas. That bid for the course record (if indeed that's what it was) only lasted 40 miles or so, but I hope you still consider it a successful run.
