Subject: Intro & TransRockies Trail Run Partner

Hi Ultra folks,
Greetings! My name is Sarah, and I’m new around here.

I am looking for a partner to race the TransRockies trail run. September 16-21st, 2007. Six days. 125 miles. Beaver Creek to Aspen, CO. (more…)

The upcoming Sunrise to Sunset Relay will get an early start with Mike Melton running the whole 165 miles on his lonesome and leaving a day or so early in order to get to the finish with the relay runners. (more…)

Don Winkley is making his annual pilgrimage to Europe and is looking for a travel companion/handler. He will be running the London marathon, Vienna marathon and then Don will be doing Nove Colli in Cesenatico Italy and finishes off his trip with the Antibes 6 day Race in the South of France. Don leaves the US on April 11th so there’s not a great deal of time left. If you are interested in helping Don, right click on this link and save. More information

Brno 48 Hour 2007 Results:

Correction.
Tony Mangan’s reported mileage was incorrectly stated as being 246.81 miles (426.178km) instead of 264.81 miles.

This is a tremendous performance and I would like to offer my congratulations to Tony for setting a new 48 hour Indoor World Record.

The hourly splits are available on the site and as are the Brno 48 hour final results

Triathletes, cyclists, and hardcore Ashtangis are among the new crop of athletes proving that a vegan diet can be a winning one.

When Scott Jurek, 32, of Seattle fuels up for a 50-mile ultramarathon, he reaches for a smoothie made with pears, bananas, apples, spirulina, and avocado. A mighty bowl of pasta, sauced with garlic and olive oil and brimming with fresh veggies, is the night-before-racing favorite of professional cyclist Christine Vardaros, 36, of Mill Valley, California. Triathlete Ruth Heidrich, 71, of Honolulu opts for a salad of greens with papaya, mango, bananas, and berries before setting out for a competition.

One thing you won’t find on these athletes’ grocery lists is meat, eggs, or dairy products. Jurek, Vardaros, and Heidrich are vegan. And if you think a vegan diet would compromise their physically demanding pursuits, just check out their performances: Jurek holds the course record in the Western States Endurance Run, a 100-mile trail race through rugged terrain. Vardaros is ranked no. 32 in the world in cycling, and Heidrich has won 900 medals in running events.
