There is very little cell phone or wifi coverage in the bourbon hills of Kentucky, so the updates are going to a little sporadic until later. BFG managed to run his second half without getting lost and came in strong, setting Maverick up to get off to a great start on leg 5.
Bourbon Chase Leg 4
by admin on October 9, 2009
Leg 3 had some rough spots in it for BFG. Seems he took a wrong turn somewhere and got lost. He borrowed someone’s cell phone and called T3 who talked him through getting back on course. In his unique way, T3 was telling BFG where he turned wrong to which BFG replied, “I don’t need […]
Bourbon Chase Leg 3
by admin on October 9, 2009
The Pirana van was in need of gas (no, no one thought to fill up last night before the start) so between exchange 2 and exchange 3 Mav found a perfect place to gas up… The boys had a hard time getting Bourbon Chicken to leave. No one in the group had ever seen a […]
Bourbon Chase Leg 2
by admin on October 9, 2009
Leg 1 is done and done! Team Pirana rolled into the exchange point and snag the premo spot and then set about meeting and greeting the other teams. The exchange is right next to a house made famous by the song, “The Railroad Runs Through The Middle of the House.” Of course, like many things […]
Bourbon Chase Leg 1
by admin on October 9, 2009
The race has begun! Team Pirana got checked in and prepped Weeble for his first run. They checked the van and made sure everything was ready to go. Then it was time for the start. Everyone walked up the hill to the Old Home and got ready for the big start. There were only 4 […]
The Chase is On
by admin on October 9, 2009
It is 5:30 local time Friday morning, October 9, 2009. Goose arrived late last night and knocked on T3 and BFG’s door at 11:00pm. They were both asleep since Mav had told them he gave Goose HIS room number. This little indiscretion will come back to haunt Mav later… The boys are packing up and […]
Pirana Cam

A short video tour of the Piraña home until tomorrow morning. The boys will be up around 5:00 am to get dressed and finish loading around 6. They will leave for the start around 6:30 (about 30 minutes away) to be there an hour before their first leg starts (the race rules not theirs.) For […]
Goose Update
by admin on October 8, 2009
Goose is allegedly on the plane from OKC to St Louis. He was supposed to arrive at 7:35 to connect to an 8:10 flight to Louisville. The OKC flight was delayed and is now supposed to arrive in STL at 7:50 to connect with the flight now leaving at 8:15. So far so good.
Supper Time!
by admin on October 8, 2009
What to eat the night before a race? Well, it depends on who you are. Weeble runs at 8:00am so he needs to be a little more careful, T3 runs last and won’t hit the pavement until almost 3:00pm, so he can live dangerously. Mav wanted a turkey sandwich with mustard and veggies and he […]
Shopping in Zombieland
by admin on October 8, 2009
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, […]
