Samsonite is running in the NorthCoast 24-Hour Endurance Run which is also the 2009 US National 24 Hour Road Race Championship. This is the designation that we are hoping to get for the 24 The Hard Way for 2011. Currently he is in 9th place out of 85 men running. He has completed 50 laps […]

Well, the Pirañas went to Turkey Mountain today. The day started at 3:30 when Mav showed up at T3’s and with Sweet Tee in tow they left to meet BFG and Weeble at the Cracker Barrel near the turnpike. Once the team was together they headed east on the turnpike and with a single break […]

Team Piraña will be in attendance at the annual Turkey’N’Taturs trail race tomorrow. T3 and Mav are tackling the 50K, BFG and Weeble are doing 25K and Sweet Tee is racing the 10K. It should be an interesting day as the area has received a lot of rain and it may be raining tomorrow. The […]

Piranas like popcorn. Not only does popcorn taste good, it is good for you, but you have to be careful. Movie popcorn is loaded with fat and salt. So what is a healthy boy (or girl) to do? Make sure you select low fat microwave popcorns at the store, sneak your own into the movies, […]

Here are some pics with not much explanation. Just trying to give you some idea what the boys are up too. The boys at the Boulevard Brewery before the start (mav is in the bathroom) The start. It is dark.  The race started under a bridge. Enough said. Still dark. On the levy. And yes, […]
