Well, the Piraña’s have not died, they just got really busy and forgot to post stuff here…
While it is currently 2 Billion degrees, fall is just around the corner and there is a full calendar of training and racing up ahead.
September brings the Turkey & Taturs Trail Race in Tulsa, OK. This 50K run is hosted by friend of the Piraña’s, Brian Hoover, and is part of the great work that the Tulsa Area Trail and Ultra Runners do. TNT is rocky, rooty, steep and hot. FUN!
September also brings the Redman Triathlon back to beautiful Lake Hefner in OKC. Brother Big is the Race Director Extraordinaire and he has developed the Redman into a world class event.
October finds Mav and T3 headed to Montana for the Le Grizz 50 miler. This point-to-point course takes runners through rolling hill along the Hungry Horse Reservoir. The name is intentional as grizzly bear sightings are not uncommon.
November brings back the third and FINAL Mother Road 100. Previous runnings of the Mother Road took participants from Arcadia to Sapulpa (2006) and then from Elk City to Yukon (2008). This year runners will start in Baxter Springs, KS and run back to Catossa. There are special awards for all those who complete all three MR100’s.
