OK, Fulshear has come and gone. Weeble ran another strong leg, Mav torn up another relay leg, and T3 hobbled through his. Here is a pic for the ladies: Here is a pic of the inside of the Piraña Mobile. Needless to say, it is a pit. We are getting in and out and trading […]
Pumpkins Anyone
by admin on March 2, 2008
OK, now it is midnight. The witching hour. We are a van of cramps, vomiting, funky odors, and other things we can’t even describe to those who are not here to experience it. Everyone is still running (more or less) and no one has actually turned into a pumpkin. We just exchanged at Wallace: And […]
Spooky Places, Midnight Races
by admin on March 1, 2008
Well, it isn’t midnight yet…but it is getting late. T3 ran a great leg, 6.7 miles at 8:23 pace. Leg still hurts, but there is no stoppin now. The exchange was at this enormous grain elevator. Goose started throwing up during T3’s run. Maverick got some pretzels and water in him and he is out […]
Go Gently Into That Good Night
by admin on March 1, 2008
We are still running…Maverick really picked it up trying to catch the team ahead of us. Now Big is out on the road and doing fine. T3 is up next (keep your fingers crossed). It is getting hard to get good pics. We will try though
Altair (Just a wide spot in the road really)
by admin on March 1, 2008
Here we are waiting for goose at Altair. Not a really happening place. In fact, the race probably tripled the population tonight. Maverick is ready to go. We are all getting a little funky smelling, and sleepy. Time to make coffee! We have a french press and hot water pot with us in the van, […]
Boys and Their Toys

Maverick found some road kill to play with. It is (was) a BIG hawk. It is VERY likely that things are going to get a LOT worse before they get any better
At Home in the Patch
by admin on March 1, 2008
This exchange makes T3 feel right at home. Weeble came in ahead of schedule and handed off to Goose. Maverick found a friend! He also got a hug from a cute chick, but we didn’t get a picture of that. The sun is going down now (thank goodness) so we trade the heat and solar […]
Mileage Update
by admin on March 1, 2008
At Columbus we had run 80 miles at an average pace of 8:48 which means we have been running for 11 hours, 40 minutes and 45 seconds when T3 handed off to Weeble. The sun is starting to go down as we wait for Weeble, so we are getting out the flashy flashies and the […]
Columbus, TX (not the explorer dude)
by admin on March 1, 2008
Here we are in the big town of Columbus, TX. T3 is not doing well. Something wrong with the right leg. Weeble is out now and chasing a chick with a tramp stamp, so he has an incentive to catch her. This is a tower that is next to the County courthouse. Other runners have […]
Best Burgers in Borden
by admin on March 1, 2008
Goose bought (and ate) a hamburger at Borden. Goose’s eating and training habits are already the stuff of legends, and this latest episode just serves to strength the myth that is the man. As the day wears on we see more and more runners trying to get some rest and stay out of the sun […]
