Well, the boys survived the first full day in CS and the USAT Race Director’s Certification Conference. After a fitful night in way to comfortable beds, day broke on the second day. The guys decided to skip a morning run and take it easy, with plans to run later in the afternoon. Breakfast was oatmeal […]

Tonight the Piranas (at least those in Colorado Springs) dined on salmon. Salmon is a color (basically pink), but it is also a really tasty fish. This particular salmon was prepared from fresh wild salmon at a trendy little place called Walter’s Bistro. Carol at the Broadmoor made the boy’s reservation and once they arrived […]

Mav and T3 ran up the mountain this morning. Well, not all the way up the mountain, but up to the Zoo from the Broadmoor. It was about 34° and they watched the sun come up over Colorado Springs. Since the Race Directors Conference did not start until 9:00, they had plenty of time to […]

The Piranas made it to CS (that is Colorado Springs for you flatlanders) and, after renting a car and using T3’s iPhone as a navigation device, arrived safe and sound at the Broadmoor. Checking in was quite a treat. They really don’t want you to do anything for yourself. Mav had requested a “room with […]

Wow, that is a boring title. Mav and T3 are off to Colorado Springs to attend the USAT Race Director Certification Program. Poor guys…3 days in the foothills talking about events and running in the snowy hills. It will be rough, but they can handle it. They will try to keep us posted here, but […]

Mav finished Bandera (last weekend) in 14:04:18. While we are still waiting for a full race report, some pics have come in…. Mav getting his things packed (he is not always this neat) Mav and the guys in the big town. Mav at the start the evening before the race. Another one bites the dust […]

Chisolm Dupree puts on a great race every year either on New Year’s Day or this year on the first Saturday of 2009. Held on the Trails at Lake Arcadia, the race is up to 50K (31.5 miles) but lots of people come out and just run a few miles or a single out and […]

And in case any of our fans were wondering: Samsonite did it. Our hard-headed 100-mile virgin had chosen December 23rd as his day to run 100 miles at Lake Hefner. In case you weren’t in metro OKC to experience it for yourself, that Tuesday was a day of classic and epic Oklahoma winds. You Lake […]

Ah, the joy of plunging your unsuspecting body into very cold water. Hypothermia here we come. The 2009 OKC Polar Plunge found a double handful of hardy (though stupid) souls on the shore of Lake Hefner at high noon. The Piranas were there of course… When the call to plunge came Team Pirana rushed into […]

Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions? Samsonite did. And he did it on television…
