It’s been a pretty hectic schedule for us the past few months but this weekend was an adventure in and of itself.
- Friday night we marked the course for the WTF race. Our “Winter Trail Festival” is my favorite Rochester race. This year we gave the race away for free. Cool, #TrailsRoc
Night time trail marking - Some out of town elite dudes were planning to stay with us before the race. We hung out had dinner gave the fast people a place to sleep and pretended like we partied hard… aka in bed early.
Fast dudes racing - Saturday morning it’s off to the race. 6am until 5pm gone directing my favorite race. a TOTAL team effort this year and we pulled off a perfect race. Below are a few photos of the day
6am on the trail- The rope turned into a knot… classic race day issues.

One of the few flat spots on the course 
Taking on “Hell On Roots” 
The start of the 15 mile race - Came home from the race and decided the lake was still not too frozen and I would take the dock out on Sunday.
Plenty of open water - After the race we were exhausted but our Friend Pete had just come home from a long stint in Afghanistan and his wife Jen was throwing a welcome back party. Off we went for some drinks, food, and celebration. Welcome home pete
- Sunday morning I went out to bring in the dock… and worst case scenario it had frozen over.. Solid enough for the dog to walk on the lake. I had to go get the ax and chop an entire circle around and under the dock to break through and bring it in.
Ice berg dead ahead 
Now it’s a dryland dock - After all of that we relaxed, watched the Bills lose again and sat around the wood stove. We burned it for a good long time this time weekend – Our first wintery night in the new place.
What else is going on?
- Insurance decided to not cover my PRP procedure. Called it experimental… I am tending to agree because I don’t think it worked.
- My story was finally published Thanks to Ron for some great photos
- Raft N Run- Join us and preview the Many On The Genny course and then raft! http://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=43142
- Shirts for sale– We tried to keep the cost lower on the race, and decided to sell shirts to only those who want them – Here you go. Atayne is an awesome company that has the same values we have!
- Waiting to see how long this injury takes to get better. Some people say 8 months to a year. I had the procedure on August 30th..Injury occurred on May 22nd. The clock ticks.
That’s it. Let’s get this week off to a great start, hopefully running on Tuesday…….. HAHAHAHHAHAHA right.
