The good thing about shopping in Zombieland is NO LINES, the bad thing is brain dead zombies trying to eat you. Lunch time! Of course, first Mav wanted clam chowder. Everyone else said no. So the GPS pointed out a place called The Shrimp Company and a place called The Fishery. Mav voted for shrimp, […]

On the Rocks (or road)
by admin on October 7, 2009
Team Pirana has made it to Springfield, MO, fueled the van and the brothers and is continuing on toward Kentucky. The boys had barely made it out of OKC on the Turner Turnpike when they found themselves tailgating a State Trooper. He was going slower than the speed limit in the left lane, but he […]
From the Wire….
by admin on October 6, 2009
It is not our usual form here at Team Pirana to post things written in first person. An exception is being made in order to get Samsonite’s race report from the North Coast 24 Hour up before the Team heads to Kentucky. Brothers – So, about North Coast 24 Hour Endurance Run, oh where to […]
Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer…
by admin on October 5, 2009
Well, you could argue that the perception of how long 24 Hours is to the person trying to run the whole time is longer than a picture will last, but you can’t argue that a picture is worth a bunch of words (or a sailing ship or something…) You can view all the pics of […]
You Gotta Know When to Fold Em

When you step to the starting line of an ultra distance event, or get out of the house early in the morning for your long run, you have no idea how the day will unfold. Not much can go wrong running 3 miles three time a week, but at distances over 40 or 50 miles […]

Samsonite continues to run. No detailed update for a while, but he is currently in 16th place with 84 miles in 14:45:00. The last 10 miles his pace fell off a lot and we are waiting to hear why. His goal is 135 miles and he will need to get back up to 10:35 pace […]

by admin on October 3, 2009

Maintaining his 15th place, he has now beat Scott Jurek (dropped at 67 miles and 10 hours) and defending champion Mark Godale (dropped after 58 miles at around 8:15.) In fact, out of 84 men who started, only 50 are left in […]
Slipping into the Night
by admin on October 3, 2009
Well, our boy has slid a little in the standings. Down to 15th with 63 miles in about 10 hours (about 9:38 pace). He called a little after 5 and sounded good and was not concerned about his place in the race, but was focused on pace and final mileage. Trying to get a pic […]
8th and moving up….
by admin on October 3, 2009
