Team Piraña

The Pirañas will be in attendance tonight at the World Premier of the Hood To Coast Movie. This race is on the Piraña bucket list….

Samsonite tied the knot in Ft Collins, CO on December 20th.

The brothers were unable to attend the main event (some are not sure they were even invited…) but they did get an invite to the local reception this past weekend where the lovely couple were greeted by friends and family. Mav, BFG and T3 were there to wish Kelsey luck dealing with the madman.

Team Pirana is planning the next run trip for early this spring! They are thinking about taking on the Warrior Dash in Texas in April

From the Warrior Dash website,

“Warrior Dash is a mud-crawling, fire-leaping, extreme run from hell. This fierce running series is held on the most challenging and rugged terrain across the globe. Warriors conquer extreme obstacles, push their limits and celebrate with kick-ass music, beer and warrior helmets.”

What’s not to like?

The course is 3.24 miles and includes;

• Slithering Swamp
• Terror Town
• Knee High Hell
• Black Forest
• Cliff Hanger
• Rio Run
• Hell’s Hill
• Satan’s Slope
• Hay Fever
• Cargo Climb
• Warrior Roast

Stay posted for training and planning posts.

Mav & Dennis at 97 miles. A transformation in just a mile. Nearly a crawl to a run up the hill!

What a difference a mile makes.

One of the last aid stations left and the guys are hanging on. Walking wounded and sleeping on their feet, but keeping one foot in front of another.

On the bridge to ...?

And a bit of time for a waiting crew to be goofy! So is the life of a crew.

A true picture of Weeble

Ticking the miles off, Mav and Dennis approach the Claremore aid station at 86.5 miles. Looking great and not much more to get done.

Approaching Claremore aid station.

Checking in.

Weeble climbing on to next year's crew vehicle. Better fly right next time!!

While t3’s beloved OSU Cowboys spanked Texas, 37-3, T3 was not so lucky in his undertaking. After having leg and Achilles problems for about 25 miles he was strongly encourage to stop by is friend, mentor and doctor, Dr. Tom Coniglione.

The cause of the concern was and is the achilles tendon

So T3 reluctantly packed it in and sent Mav and Dennis on their way. This was a very difficult decision for T3 but was the wise thing and in the end will be the best thing.

It still sucks!

A few pics from the Pirana Bros stop at the TATUR’s aid station in Foyil.

A warm fire, tons a food, great company, and Weeble’s replacement.

Mav & Dennis warming and gettin' toasty. Nearly a vacation at 26 minutes!

The TATUR cat, has assumed Weeble's post!

The boys are doing well. Mav and T3 have been running with a new friend, Dennis. The three of them have become quite a team. Doing so well together we may never have to pace!!!

They are all doing extremely well. Their early willingness to eat seems to be paying some dividends.

Some pics from the Chelsea Inn. They saved a room to use for a nice warm, almost too inviting stop for the runners:

A well deserved seat in a nice warm place. Chelsea Inn.

Bout' to hit the road.

To 68 and beyond,,,

I longer stop at the halfway point. T3 and Mav are showing a surprising interest in food. A departure from their normal race intake levels. They are looking great and attitudes are good!!

Contrary to the post, here the boys look a little dazed at the midway point!
