Not-McNaughtAgain

2009-04-23T21:37:00.034-05:00

Recently this last April I ran my 2ND attempt of the McNaughton Park 100 mile trail Ultra Marathon. Now the beauty of waiting several months to write about it is, I can't remember most details and can't be held responsible for any inaccurate information.

I'd like to say I won it, but I do remember that. In fact If I was to skip forward to the end, I'd have to say it was another tough race and I ended up dropping at 70 miles.

Let me tell you the theme of the day was mud. There was a large storm that hit the course the day prior and it really messed up the trail. The stream crossings where deeper that normal. And it added several water crossings so instead of crossing two streams per loop, there were 4-5 extra, so it's safe to say my feet were wet during the entire run.
The shoe sucking mud made the day difficult. In all lower canon areas of the course, which was about 30% of the course. The water from the rain was trap. Illinois soil is thick clay like dirt that holds the water and as runners trample down the trail, it make a NICE THICK SOUPY MUDDY MESS.

It's ankle deep at times and adds about a pound to your shoes. OK I'm done crying about the mud.

Did I mention it was muddy?

Yep! more mud!

The race started at 6am. I ran well through the day. Again the course is 10 total 10 mile loops. When night came, it was a new experience for me. It was dark, but this year I brought better headlamp and flashlights. During the day you are surrounded by hundreds of people, but at night I only seen a few people.

The temperature dipped down to lower 30's that night.

These were the main two stream crossings. Nice and refreshing during the day and cold as ice at night.

This is golf hill. It's tough to see in this photo but it's steep enough you have to use a rope to get to the top.

You pass this old civil war cemetery right before you get to the next aid station.

This is Heavens Gate aid station. I love these guys. They had to stand in ankle deep mud for 30 hours.

The finish line. Runners line the entry to the finish line with tents. I don't know what to think about this. For the first 50 miles of the race it was great. You run down this lane of tents and you had your own cheering section. The family members of runners camped out to cheer on their runner and they always give you a courtesy clap and "you're look'in good. But as the day turns to night many of the tents are occupied by runners taking a break or finished for the day. I caught myself looking at these poor bastards thinking, Man they look like crap! Do I look that bad. Maybe worse.

This is the only photo that was taken of me after the race. It was a fun day but the McNaughton mud and rain got the best of me again. I'll be back. You can count on it.

Five Days of Taper

2009-04-05T12:07:00.007-05:00

Five days and I'll be packing the car and heading toward Pekin, IL for the McNaughton Park 100 mile Ultra. I finished off the week with a fun 12K trail run at Platte River State Park. This race was organized by Teamnebraska and as always we had a good time. 1:33 time with 4500 elevation gain.

A Purgatory of Mileage

2009-03-26T21:39:00.009-05:00

I read that Kansas is a Purgatory of Mileage and after running the Flint Hills 50 mile ultra marathon March 14th 2009, at times I thought maybe I was in Purgatory. I'm not sure if the official name of the run was the Flint Hills 50, but thats what I named it. The KUS club or "Kansas Ultrarunning Society held a 50 mile members only fun run March 14th 2009. It was fun. The KUS group drove us out into the middle of the flint hills in central Kansas to drop us off at the starting line of the Heartland 100 Ultra course then told us to run back to Cassoday Kansas. This was like running on the surface of the moon. 11 hours of rolling hills and never changing landscape. One of the most beautiful places in the midwest. But let me tell you. There was seldom a tree and never a house or traffic. Just looong loonnnng roaaads. The KUS group charged $5.00. They dropped us off. The followed us for 11 hours. They gave us food and drink. And they are the greatest people on earth for doing that. What a good time.

We ended the day by running 50 miles. Our time was 11:27.

Race $5.00

gels $15.00

hotel $29.00

Gas $20.00

loosing two toe nails $0.00

Running the heartland 100 course $priceless

Phyco Wyco 2009

2009-02-28T13:17:00.013-06:00

February 14th Valentines Day was my third running of Kansas Cities Phyco Wyco. Who would of ever thought Bad Ben would have arranged good weather and decent trail conditions. We were not prepared for that. He always has something up his sleeve. Last winter is was ankle deep, shoe sucking mud. Last July was crazy heat. Don't get me wrong, the mud showed up, but not until the end of the day. Over-all I was happy with an 8hour 9 minute finish. I was still at the back of the pack, but this was a personal PR for me. AND we had a blast.

Always a half dozen stream crossing adds to the fun. At the end of the day the trail leading out of the stream was mucky ol' mud.

Bob was kind enough to slow his day down to help me stay motivated. I think he would of had a healthy PR had he chose to run his own race. He was looking strong.

Rob and KT ran the Dawgs.

KT ran the 10mile option. Rob ran the 20miler with OLY. His last 10 mile lap was impressive running it in a hour twenty-ish.

Oly the super stud with his first finisher metal.

What's next.......in two weeks I'm running a 50 miler on the Heartland 100 course on March 14th. Then two weeks after that (Easter weekend). I'm taking my second stab at the McNaughton Park 100miler.

Another Word for Winter is (NEVERENDING)

2009-02-28T13:02:00.002-06:00

Just when we got used to temperatures in the sixties, mother nature slaps us with another winter storm. This is not quite what I had in mind for weather this week. I just signed up for a fifty miler in two weeks and really need some trail time.

I was lucky enough to have some help scooping snow today. While the Blink clan is basking in the Florida sun with the Bigun family, I get to take care of his meathead dawg and scoop snow. It just doesn't seem right. Have fun and we'll see you in a few.

They Will Let Anyone In a Race Oh Shit!

2009-02-09T19:52:00.007-06:00

Oh Crap now what does this say about me. Here I thought I might be part of an elite group. You know the best of the best, and now look Rod Blagojevich is running Marathon's. Well just shake it off and be happy the blond with the speedo AND Blagojevich will never show up at the same race that I am.

Well now we are on the subject I'm about to kick off the season with my first Ultra. Next Saturday, I'm heading down to run in 2009 Phyco Wyco Ultra Marathon. It's a 50K with over 12,000 ft of climb. It's muddy! It's cold! And the RD Bad Ben always says he doesn't allow any Whiners so I better shut up. It's going to be fun.

Camp Corns Weekend

2008-10-08T20:07:00.029-05:00

The first weekend in October Aneta and I made a road trip down to Indian Cave State Park in South East Nebraska. I always heard they had a great trail system and the rumors where right. We covered 8 miles of trail and didn't see half the trails. I was really impressed with the elevation gains and variety of scenery.

The following week I made last minutes plans to throw the tent and sleeping bag in the car and went back for two-day trail run.

Let's just call it CampCorns. So there was no entry fee to sign up for CampCorns, and as you can see there where no shirts given out. The attendance this year (at CampCorns) was 100%, but then again I was the only one invited.

The first day.... Saturday, I rolled into Indian Cave and set up camp. That took longer than I hoped so my first day of running was short. Maybe a ten mile run followed up by camp fire meal and a cooler full of beer. The weather was perfect. A cool evening, no bugs and no phones.

Day two was great. I got up early and had a quick backpackers breakfast. I filled up the camelback with H2O and hit the trails for a nice fifteen mile run. Indian Cave had a horse race that morning so I shared the trail with hand full of horseback riders. They were bigger so they had the right of way, plus they were faster, but then again if you've seen me run, that ain't saying much. The trails had some amazing hills with incredible views of the Missouri River, some deep valleys and you could run for 25+ miles without seeing the same trail twice.

After the run I went back to camp. Fried up some eggs and sausage and held the awards ceremony. CampCorns trailrunning series fell on hard times this year with the poor economy so there where no buckles awarded. Maybe next year.

Below.....I added a link to a short film of David Goggins, the US Seal Team member/Ultra runner. Most of the footage was shot at the 2008 McNaughton Park 100/150 mile ultra. I was running the 100 mile distance and the only time I got to see David he pasted me when I was on mile 25. He passed me like I wasn't moving and he already completed 125 miles. It's a great video. When you click on the link there are several video's. Use the tool bar to scroll over to "The Long Run". Enjoy!

Bohemian Alps 2008

2008-09-27T15:16:00.009-05:00

Three weeks after the Lean Horse 100 mile ultra Nebraska holds it's only Ultra distance race, the Bohemian Alps 50k. I can't say I was fully recovered from the Lean Horse but it's important to support our local races when-ever possible.

Again, the day was a tough one. The forecast was calling for mild temperatures but holy cow it was hot. Upper 80's and when you are a walking oven, that's hot. I think everyone said they had difficulty with the heat. The fastest time was around 5hours. I happened to finish the Alps in 7 hours 11minutes. I'm please with the time and had a blast doing it.

The Bohemian Alps is a 32 mile run in Branard Nebraska. Rolling hills, dirt roads and trails. My GPS says we had 3685 feet of Ascent/Descent. September is the start of harvest season so the occasional grain truck flying by and kicking up road dirt is a factor as well. Sweat + Dirt = a messy dry eyed Greg.

When I first started doing triathlon the race would always give you a photo or drawing of the area.

Since I started doing ultras the RD would give you a satellite photo or county road map for distance and direction. I wish they wouldn't do that. Scars the shit out of me when you see the big picture.

Post race beers and BBQ. I wasn't worth a crap here. Notice I thought this one through. I camped out by the beer cooler. Now if I could just give my dick to someone to go take a piss for me, I'd be happy. I was on my own for that one.

Going down!

The Lean Horse

2008-09-08T20:57:00.026-05:00

We made it back from the Lean Horse and back to our normal Life again. The trip to South Dakota is always fun, but this year was another humbling experience again. This was my 2nd attempt at running the Lean Horse and I fell shy of the finish line by 30 miles.

Carhinge was the first stop on our trip to South Dakota. It's a mystical place. Life changing for sure.

I was able to scratch one item from the bucket list. PISS ON CARHINGE. "Who doesn't have that on their list"? It was satisfying.

The next morning we were got checked in....had a quick snack.....stretched and got ready for the race start up.

The race had about 140 runners, some running the 50 miler and about 80 people running the 100 miler. I love the energy at the start. Most people are nervous and jacked up ready to get the race started. I tend to be numb. No emotion, I'm just ready to go.

After we got started I hooked up with the only other person from Nebraska. Scott G. from LaVista Nebraska.. One hell of a good guy. Really......we didn't plan to dress the same.......Scott ended up with at 25 hour finish.......Which I'm proud to say he represented Nebraska well. I hope to do some more running with Scott in the future.

The wild life in South Dakota was incredible. I know most of my friends would look at hind-end as an invitation. Kind of looks like a target. And look.........handle bars......who could say "No" I had to pass on this one.

Big Buck.......What a monster.

After the race gets underway you are really able to relax and just enjoy the run. The Lean Horse is considered one of the easiest 100 mile ultra. Non technical trails, with all smooth surfaces, but I argue that. It's ALL up and down. You are always going through some level of elevation change, and the changes in temperature are challenging too. The start of the race is 40. The mid day is 80 and after the sun goes back down it's back in the lower 40's.

The first 25 miles were smooth. I was running well. I did not have any major problems. I was able to see Aneta a few times at different aid station and was able to cruse into Carrol Creek aid station at mile 30 feeling good. From 30 to 40 miles my body was starting to rebel a little and started getting sick. I was sick of drinking energy drinks, I was sick of gu, my "S" caps were not tasty and that's were I started Blow Chunks. And "No" I don't have a cat named "Chunks" (joke). Now on the up-side of getting sick it was only a minor problem. I just had to slow down. Focus on staying hydrated, and keep moving forward.

Now it started getting late. The sun was down and believe me South Dakota is dark. It's funny but when you are running in the trees. No moon light, and all you have is your head lamp, you tend to see things. Everything moves. Trees take on different shapes. I kept seeing chairs lines up on the side of the trail. I go take a closer look and guess what ......no chairs...just more and more trees.

I ended my run about 1:30am at night. I really had trouble from mile 60 to 70. The last section of my run was a 6 mile stretch from Crazy Horse Monument to Harbach park all up hill. It trashed the quads and with no water in my system.......I just shut down. On the upside.......I did 70miles.......I did about 12 thousand food of ascent/descent, and I ran from 6am and stopped at 1:30am.........On the down side.......I showed up to run a 100 mile race. I only covered 70 miles.

I am disappointed in the end result but overall I'm happy for the opportunity, and to say I ran in tough conditions, and I've gained a ton of experience for the next race.

In short.....The Lean Horse is a great event. Jerry Dunn does a great job putting on a event that is challenging, but do-a-ble for the first time ultra runner.

The Lean Horse

2008-08-11T05:00:00.004-05:00

Lean Horse is an old U.S. Postal Service Mail term used back in the Pony Express days as "a Horse that could run longer distances (and) quickly, more-so than your average horse". I plan to redefine that term as the one who trots and who leaves many road apples along the way.

The Lean Horse 100 Mile Ultra Marathon starts Saturday August 23rd at 6:00am.

This will be my second attempt. I fell short last year, so I have some unfinished business now.

It should be fun weather permitting. I'm going to need you to send some of your positive vibes.

Two Questions

2008-07-03T06:35:00.010-05:00

Answer to Question Number One: Well I guess they do shit in the woods. But then again, so does Blink. Good now I can move on.

Answer to Question Number Two:
Hell ya Kansas is hot. Which worries me just a little. July 5Th I'm going to venture down to Kansas City Kansas to run in the Summer Phyco Wyco 50K trail run . Most race's have a claim to fame, or a certain known level of difficulty that makes thier race unique. Western States has quad crunching down hills, H.U.R.T. has technical roots, rocks, mud. Hard Rock has elevation gain/loss. Well you get the point. Summer Phyco has Kansas heat and humidity. It's only been a few months sense my last rant when I was bitching about the cold. So it doesn't seem right that I squawk about the heat.......But as luck would have it, KC is only calling for temp of 86 degree's, with 70% humidity.

How lucky am I. Good weather, time off away from work. I get to go run in a lil' trail Ultra and finish up with beers and fireworks.

I hope everyone has a great 4Th. I would tell you "Please Drink Responsively" but I know you all better than that. Have fun and be er responsible!

Olympic Trials

2008-07-02T06:43:00.003-05:00

Yesterday we had an opportunity to watch the Olympic Swim Trials. It really was a great show. First, the athletes were the best part. A few world records were set. Mark Phelps was there and in top form. Then the event itself was fun. It wasn't your typical swim meet like what we had back in high school. There were lights. The was loud-ass music. It was almost a concert setting. If you ever get a chance to go in the future. I highly recommend it.

Happy 4th kids.

Coeurd 'lane

2008-06-24T21:31:00.003-05:00

First of I'd like to congratulate all of those.....who competed in the Iron Man competition at Coerdil'ane Idaho. You did great. Hat's off to Blink, Bigun and tacboy. You three are studs.

My next adventure is Summer PhyscoWyco, July 5th. Again, I might be a little under trained for this one, but I'm looking forward to a challenge. 30 miles on the trail. It should be fun.

McNaughton Park 100 Mile Madness

2008-05-01T18:21:00.009-05:00

Let me start off by saying...if you want mud and shitty weather, well just invite me to your race. It seems that's the one consistent thing that I can guarantee. McNaughton Park was that. Muddy......Rainy....at times snow, but it was fun.

Bob M. and I showed up at this race Friday for packet pick up and to watch the 150 milers start. It was humbling to stand there with fresh legs and watch the 150 milers, knowing that when we start our race they will have already been running for eighteen hours.

6am Saturday came around quickly and we were all off and running. There was 60 runners in the 150 miler. 60+ in the 100 miler and 90+ runners in the 50 miler. This is a single track 10 mile looped course with rolling hills and two stream crossings per loop. The rain was light and sporadic during the morning portion of the run, but got progressively heavier though out the day.

Miles 0 to 20 was easy and a lot of fun. I ran with several groups of people, the trail was in reasonably good condition considering the steady rain for the past few days. David Goggins (Navy Seal) and pacer passed me around mile 25. He said he was on 115 and still looking strong. David went on to win the 150 miler with a total time of 33:36.

Miles 30-40 did not come easy for me. The trail was pummeled by hundreds of feet. The mud was ankle deep in places and the rain stopped long enough for it to turn to snow. It was cooled! I remember standing on the side of a hill taking a gel and the ground just gave away. I was gliding down the hill unable to stop. The good news was, I could slide faster than I could run. The bad news was, what goes down must eventually go back up. One section of the course called (Golf Hill) had a rope to assist you up the hill. It was a vertical climb that required use of the rope.

At mile 45, I came up on (Heavens Gate) aid station and of one the volunteers was eating a grilled cheese sandwich, she could see the drewl from my mouth so she offered. Let me just say this, that was the BEST grilled cheese I've ever had in my life! Then she offered cheesy mashed potatoes and bacon. Kids.... I just ran into a buffet. They called it (Heavens Gate) because it sat on an old cemetery. I think they should call it Heavens Buffet and All Night Grill.
At mile 50 I found the difference between a water proof jacket.....and the difference between a water resistant jacket. A water resistant jacket is good for 0-30 miles in the rain and a water proof jacket is what I did not own. My body was soaked from head to toe. The sun was now down and the temperature dropped. The thought of doing 40 more miles in the dark didn't seem possible, and that's when my flashlight went out. Now what? Here I am out in the woods with an eight pound water filled jacket and a broken flashlight. Fortunately I did have a small backup penlight. Without that I'd probably still be out wandering around in the woods someplace in Illinois.
When I got back to the start/finish line I was shaking uncontrollably. I just couldn't get warmed up. I was spent, and without a light I was done.

It was a tough year for McNaughton Park. 13 runners completed the 150 mile race. 11 runners completed the 100 mile race and 69 runners completed the 50 mile race. It's also worth mentioning......Of the 60 people to start the 150 mile race 11 additional runners did complete 100 miles before stopping. Anyone who could endure 100 miles in those conditions has my respect.

Bob M. completed the 100 miler in 29:47 and placed 3rd overall and received the 100 mile buckle and 1st place award for his age group. I ran for 16:58 before dropping and place 19Th overall and 9Th place for my age group and received the 50 mile buckle.

Mud Fest 2008

2008-04-04T07:39:00.003-05:00

Yes I was at the back of the pack on this race. Not a strong finish. The only thing that I can say in my defence there were 35 runners that dropped from the race because the trail conditions was so bad. Believe me, I thought about it at one point too, but my ride wasn't at the race so there wasn't anything else to do but wait, so I thought.....I might as well be running. The last lap was un-runnable, it was a wading pool of mud that added weight to my feet. Mile 25 (or so) the dash board lights turned on the the wheels feel off, and I was walking. But talk about fun. It was a blast.

The First Coeurd'Alen Challenge

2008-04-01T07:42:00.010-05:00

Well I'm finding there are more challenges to completing an Iron Man than JUST physical challenges. Recently I've been displaced from my job. (Or as they would say south of the boarder). Juno....I lost my Yob Mang! So most likely that will effect my goal of attending the Iron Man in Coeurd'Alene and that SUCKS! I mean that sucks "BIGTIME" I'm only guessing my next employer will not be open to giving me a week and a half off in June, so I had to come to the realisation that I won't be able to make the trip to Idaho. For those who are signed up for an Iron Man this year.....think about that.....How hard would it be for YOU to back out at this point. We've all committed. We've all past the point of no return.

First there is the financial investment of $500 one year in advance. Hell I don't even know what what I'm going to eat for lunch today, and IM wants me to plan one year in advance to compete in their race then lay down five hundy.

Second I know we've all laced up our shoes and ventured out into the snow and shitty weather because "we had to". A run could wait for another nice day but you know if you don't bang out some serious miles you may not see the finish line. So we take an enjoyable thing like running and turn it into a chore. And that pool, face down in cold water ingesting chlorine for hours. It's not always the funnest thing to do.

Now that you are vested financially AND physically, then have to "bow out". For me, the toughest part was just saying it.....ok....."I'm out" I hesitated and Studdard but I did have to say it................I'm out..................Ouch!.

Now IM has my money and not likely to give it back, and maybe there is an outside chance that I can go. What if my new employer would say, wow Greg you are going to compete in the Iron Man, wow you can't pass that up. Just maybe the stars will Aline and allow me to go. (I know dream on). So what to do? Keep on running. I would hate to show up under prepared.

I guess the best approach is to enjoy what you are doing today. The race only lasts one day. Enjoy all the days that brought you there, and enjoy all the things that you take away from Iron Man. I'll be thinking about you June 22ND.

On the lighter side. The weather has been warmer. I finely got to run in shorts and tee for the first time in months. Why do I have to learn things the hard way?

Nipple Protection!

The question is? Why do my lil nipples seem to always take a beating when I wear just a tee shirt. It seems the ladies never have this problem. What is it? Are they made of Kevlar, and cast iron? Do men genetically have sensitive nipples?

I've had people say......Well Yeti why don't you just Duck Tape em. Well that poses another problem. Who's going to remove the tape when I'm done running? Not me. And I refuse to look like Steve Carell on the Forty Year Old Virgin. Bag-Balm doesn't cut it.

Maybe I'll just remove them. I don't use them. What good are they? Will HMO cover that? Maybe Snap-On will invent some removable Nipples.

Well that's all for now folks. Happy Training.

The Banwagon is Heading to the Blarney Stone

2008-03-16T16:02:00.003-05:00

Monday March 17Th Aneta plans to kiss the Blarney Stone in her 2008 running debut. One of Omaha's local running stores is putting on a 5k St Patty's run.

You know ever sense I can remember I've been challenging Aneta to try running but there hasn't been much interest, but last month Blink came over for a few beers and conversation. Well the usual smack talk started and Blink challenged Aneta running in the Blarney Stone 5k.

I have to say Aneta's has been working hard and laying down some good miles. I know she will do well.
Who knew, the motivating factor would be....
#1 A challenge from Blink.
#2 Free Beer and pizza after the race

I can understand #2 that's enough motivation for me to run. But #1 REALLY a challenge from Blink? Who knew.

And here's the kicker. The above picture is a blatant violation and unauthorized use of Yeti's Man Cave.

Well I hope everyone's St. Patty's day is one to remember and I hope everyone gets to Kiss the Blarney Stone. Happy St. Patty's day!

Back From the PsychoWyco

2008-02-13T07:59:00.014-06:00

Let me just start off by saying, have you ever had to ask yourself, why do you enjoy this sport? Let me skip forward for a moment to say, I just got back from the Psycho Wyco 50K trail run this week and absolutly had a blast. Probobly the funnest race I've been in. But on paper it looked like the worst. I was in the back of the pack and my time was 9:20 on a 50k trail run. When I got home, the question was asked, how did you do? After telling my story the, responses was.....Why did you go? Did you even go? What's the point if you arn't number one? and so on. So I caught myself dwelling on the question. Greg why do you do this? You know maybe they are right? I can remember back when I first started running the answer was simple. I wanted to look good naked! Not like a toad. Then you decide maybe I'll enter a race,then a few years later we try differant types of races, or we become more competitive. All of us have an different agenda and I almost forgot my reasons for a second. HAVE FUN. It's simple, but meaningfull to me. Have fun and enjoy this as long as the good Lord let's me. And when it's no longer fun, well do something else.

So let me tell you about the fun in KC. Aneta, Bob Murphy and myself roll into KC about 6pm on Friday. Went to Garry Gribbles running sports for packet pick up. Probobly one of the nicest running stores I've seen. We checked into the hotel then went to the Outback for some shrimp off the Barbie, then got a good night of sleep.

8:00am the following day the race starts with 900+ runners. The temperature was 25 and the ground was frozen and snow covered. The course is a 10 mile looped course, each loop had 5 stream crossings and 1800 foot acent/decent so dry warm feet and running on flat ground is not an option.

The temperature warmed up quickly to 35 by 9:30 and 40 by noon so with the snow melt plus 900 runners equealed a nasty messy crazy-ass run. The mud was anckle deep at times.

The first two laps were runable, but the last lap was reduced to a walk. Let's just say the mud was deep, the hills were steep and Greg's legs were cramping. Maybe that's why it was so much fun...It was a challenge. (5400ft total Acent 15 stream crossings)

Again, this is one of Bad Ben's races and he does a fantastic job. Plenty of aid. Hot food and drink. For Forty bones (entry) I got a cool shirt, event mug and bling. Ben puts on a great race, one you will likely never forget.

In short, we had a fantastic weekend. It's nice to go into the next season with a good base and look at what I need to work on with Coeur d'Alene only, 4 months way. One thing is for sure, my goals and agenda have not changed for 2008. HAVE FUN! My goal for Iron Man is to have an enjoyable Iron Man experiance and getting to know all of the Iron Man peeps.

Happy training kids.

Question: Every time I get out out of the pool my sinuses are so plugged up, and it's miserable. Does anyone have a good remedy for that?

Playing Catch Up

I'll be the first to admit I'm terrible about keeping an updated blog so here is the Cliff Note version.

Three weeks ago was the first opportunity to take a four day week-end off. So what's a fella going to do? Go hunting. I traveled out to North Platte Ne, to go preditor hunting.

We called dogs for three days and had high winds and bad weather to limit our success, but the last day we were able to call in five coyote's and pulled off one good shot.

I even tried to get the Tri-Dummy to go one day but we weren't able to pull off a hunt. Dummy, we'll hook up next time.

Saturday I'm heading down to Kansas City KS for my first Ultra of the year. The 50k Psyco Wyco ultra. This is one of Bad Bens yearly races, and I'm really looking forward hitting the trails again. I'll give a full race report next week.

Coming Out Of The Closet

2008-01-13T20:50:00.000-06:00

Well I've had a dirty little secret for sometime now now, and I've been reluctant to talk about it for the last few months. I think the reason for not talking about it is because it's probably not the best idea in the world, but sometimes you just have to say "fuck it" and just do something stupid. I signed up for the McNaughton Park 100 mile Ultra Marathon in Peking IL. For April 12th, 2008. This will be my second attempt at the 100 mile distance. My first attempt at the 100 mile distance was at Lean Horse 100 mile Ultra last August in which I fell short of the finish by quite a few miles.

One side of me says, take your time. Train harder. But the other side says quit acting like a pussy and just do it. If I have half the fun in this attempt as I did at the Lean Horse it will be worth it no matter what the out come is.

If you are not familiar with the McNaughton Park Ultra. It's the only 150 mile Ultra in the USA. They also offer a hundred mile and a 50 mile during the same race. The 150 milers start on April 11th at 12pm, and us 100 milers join them on April 12th at 6am. The McNaughton Park Ultra is a single track trail run on a 10 mile loop course. Each 10 mile loop has heavy hills and two stream crossings per loop.

I can honestly say, if I had to run this race tomorrow I would fail miserably but I do think April is far enough out to put in enough miles to get me ready for this. I've been running all hills and mixing in some pool time too. I'm banking on that combination to get me where I need to be.

Wish me luck on this next adventure and may the trail gods be good to me this next three months.

Happy New Year 2008

2008-01-01T22:00:00.000-06:00

Happy New Year to all.

Well lets get this year started. The last football game is about over. Work is slowing down. With those two major distractions behind me, maybe we can start getting some miles in. The tough part is planning out the year and putting together a training plan. CDA will be the big focus and I think we will see at least three Utra's on my wish list year.

Good luck in 08.

2007-12-23T11:53:00.000-06:00

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Diggin the Snow

2007-12-06T22:13:00.000-06:00

Holly crap the season have changed from a mild fall to weekly snow storms. I'm really digg'in the snow, but it's change my approach to working out. Mainly running. It takes a little more motivation to get me outside these days.

I've learned two new tricks this year both involve my feet. Number one. If you drive a small half inch sheet metal screw into the tread of your shoe it works like a low cost running spike. I swear by this and it gives you enough traction to keep you upright and you'll never worry about sliding down an icy frozen surface. You might ask. Does the screw ever poke through to your foot......and that would be a "hell no". They don't fall out. They don't rip or shred your shoe. I've got a few twenty mile runs on these and they are still working well.

The other thing I've learned to keep your feet warm. Did you know that if you slather a thin layer of Vaseline on your feet then sprinkle Cyan Chili Pepper over your feet they will stay nice and tingly warm. It feels a little strange but it works. Cyan Chili Pepper has the same active ingredient as in a over the counter pain reliever called Zostrix. Some people use this instead of Using Chili Powder, but back in the old mountaineering days they used to Chili Powder. Word to the wise. Don't get it on your hands. If you rub your eyes or your sack, you will hate yourself. After your run. Wash you feet well. Soap and water. Then use hand lotion on your feet after you dry off. That will de-activate the pepper. And what the hell put the lotion on your sack too. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.

One last thought. Are your feet cold. Well are your shoes too tight. Loose shoe = warm feet.

This is Hanks Dirty Harry look.

Do you feel lucky PUNK...Well do ya?

Da Da Daaa! I'm super dog.

Ready for the Holidays

2007-12-05T10:14:00.000-06:00

Took me all week but the tree is up!

November

2007-11-29T10:35:00.000-06:00

It seems I've been away from Blog world for some time now. About three weeks ago my computer got sick. It caught nasty little virus called the "Black Door Virus" No I didn't say, back door. Anyway it took some time to work through the problem and some serious help from a friend that knows a hell of a lot more about computers than I do.

On the up-side of not having a computer, I had a lot of time to other things like blog.

#1. I've been able to visit my new favorite trail system. Fontinell Forest. I worked in a weekly 18 mile training run and a hand full of shorter 10 mile runs.

#2. I got re-acquainted with the pool. I can't say I'm swimming well, but you have to start somewhere. Aneta and I both joined LifeTime Fitness health cub. It's such a nice place. I've been going to the pool a few times a week and Aneta has been a little work-out animal and going to aerobic kick-boxing and strength training classes four times a week.
#3. I had a great Thanksgiving weekend. I'm in the retail business so my workload has been outrageous with Black-Friday weekend. So it was nice to get a day off from work.
#4. I got to go hunting with my Lil-buddy Rob the first part of November. We haven't had a trip like that for more than a decade and it was nice. We had a successful hunt and we got to act like boys for a weekend. Great trip.

Well I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays and starting to think ahead to next season. Iron Man is just around the corner. Happy Holidays everyone.

This is one of my favorite sections of trail along Missouri River at Fontenell Forest.

Our hunting adventure in McCook Nebraska. We got four deer. This is my deer. I got the small one this year. But my freezer is full.

One Sexy Gun

2007-11-08T11:40:00.000-06:00

I would like everyone to meet the newest addition to our family. This is Eleanor and she is one Sexy Bitch!. Eleanor is a 22-250. Free floating sniper grade barrel. One pound hair trigger. And a 6.5x20x50 scope. Oh yes just the way I like'em.....Thick and black. Sir-mix-alot would be jealous, Because this baby got back.

Well this weekend should prove to be fun. Blink and I will be venturing out to western Nebraska to my family farm for some White Tail hunting. This farm is a fruit and produce farm so it offers a lot of tasty snacks for the deer. I've seen my share of wall-hangers out there. We'll probably have to do a little Pheasant hunting too. Wish us luck and we'll see you in week.

Omaha Trail Tour

2007-10-22T23:45:00.000-05:00

Really a fella couldn't ask for a better week. I called it "Greg's trail run week. The weather has been up and down. One day raining the other day sunny, but never the less.....It's fall. And I'm talking a nice fall. So my goal was to get out and run as many trails as time will allow. The leaves are changing.....It's cool. The air is crisp. Perfecto.

I've ran a good portion of the Omaha trails but my lil buddy Blink turned me onto a mountain biking web-sit called, THOR. It's a nation wide search of mountain bike trails and well HELL! why not run those trails.

I was able to run Platte River State Park, Lewis and Clark Monument, Wabash Trace, Choco Hill's, and Fontanel Forest.

I loved all five trails. Each have there own unique qualities and I recommend trying them if you are in the Omaha area. (Blink.....don't be a pussy.....try them) That's right, I'm calling you out.

1. Platte River State Park. This network of trails is tough. All up! and All down. Not much flat ground and absolutely beautiful. It boarders the Platte River. If you want a challenge. Do It!

2. Lewis and Clark Monument. This park sits on a cliff overlooking the Missouri River. This trail was a blast. The first mile of trails runs the edge of a bluff with breathtaking views. Take a straight down plunge into a network of trails. All cover by a canopy of trees and remember to save a little bit for the climb back out of the valley because it WILL kick yo ass.

3. Wabash Trace. Good trail. Long flat straight and tree covered. The surface is crushed limestone surface so it's soft on the feet. Pick your distance. This trail runs 62 mile long. Just plan your "out and back.

4. Choco Hills. It's a local lake with a paved looped trail around lake Wierspan. Very nice.

5. Fontanel Forest. I have nothing but good to say about this park. It offers 26 miles of trails in an absolutely beautiful forest. There are a lot of crazy hills and Lot's of flats to run. It has more scenery then you could imagine with ton's of wild life. You haven't experience a trail run till you ran at Fontanel. And who ever said Nebraska is flat is "full of shit" My legs are still screaming. One thing about Fontanel. They charge a entry fee to use the park, but I liked it so much I bought into a yearly membership. Cost $45. It's worth it.

Platte River State Park.

Now tell me....Who wouldn't want to run this. NICE!

OK I didn't see this I couldn't resist.

I've seen this on more than one trail in Nebraska.

Lewis and Clark Cliff Trails

Choco Hills trail. Lot's of ducks.

M R Ducks O S A R Ducks

Fontanel Forest Trails. I wish I could show you more Pic's. This pic. doesn't do the park justice. I had the chance to run this trail with Bob Murphy, a ultra running maniac who has eighteen 100 mile ultra's and countless short distance ultra's and marathons. His resume includes HURT in Hawaii, HARD ROCK, WESTERN STATES, LEANHORSE and many more. Bob is a very humble ultra runner who refuses to brag but is quick to share advise and direction. It was great experience to run with him and plan to hit the trails with him again. We banged out a 20 mile run this day. OUCH!

OK I didn't go to this place. I just liked the picture. I Dickerd with the idea of not posting this picture. It was Hard do decide, but I was Nuts about this photo. No Bones about it. It is a great photo. You just can't Beat it. I just hope no one gets Testy because I'm not sure where it Came from.

GOING FISH'IN? YEP! GOT WORMS? YEP! BUT I'M GOING ANYHOW!

2007-10-08T21:19:00.000-05:00

This week I had a chance to go fishing for Paddle Fish with the fellas from Cabela's (some call them Spoon Bill). If you are not familiar with Paddle Fish. They are a prehistoric fish that only gather in a few places in the US. We caught these fish at Gavins Point Dam located on the Missouri River near Yankton South Dakota. These crazy fish are plankton eaters . They use their large paddle noses to stir up the sediment on the bottom of the river then ingest the water with their large mouth. The water enters their mouth. The plankton is consumed and the water leaves by way of their enormous gills.

Sense these are not attracted to bait or other fish life, the only way to catch them is by snagging them with large trebble hooks. This is done by throwing a line out with a heavy weight and large trebble hooks. When you real the line back to the boat your goal is to (by chance) drag a hook acrossed fish snag'em. And let me tell you what, when you lay into a 30lb fish, the fight is on.

A Paddle Fish lives up to 60 years of age. They've been known to grow over 6 feet long.
This fish is 20 to 30 years of age and weighs 32lbs. It measured 41 inches long.

We fished all day Wednesday and landed about 45 fish total. Let me tell you, I was beat. It's sad when you are too tired to fish. I know, I'm a pussy.

We kept one fish for dinner that night. We stayed in a local log cabin one night and fried our fish over an open fire, drank whiskey, smoked cigars. A total boys weekend.

2007-10-01T10:33:00.000-05:00

Well it's been a great week-end. Number one....I've been building up my miles again. I've taken way too much time off and the build up has been a challenge. It's just good to hit the trail again.

Number two.....Traveled down to Lincoln to watch the Huskers stomp Iowa. Number three BBQ. What else could a fella ask for?

Hope everyone is having a great week.

Can anyone tell me where the year went?

2007-09-27T14:10:00.000-05:00

OK so I start the year off running some routes through a local neighborhood where there aren't many houses. Just a newly developed streets with new lots for future homes. One day someone started digging a basement and everyday you could see major progress on the construction of the house. It was fun to run by everyday to see what was done to this house.

Well now the house is built with a family settled in and they have neighbors. And I mean a lot of neighbors. In one summer my peaceful quiet running ground has turned into a full blown neighborhood. There are at least a dozen new houses and more are being built. So I have to ask this question. Were in the hell has the time gone? My quiet peaceful running sanctuary has turned from wide open spaces, to closed in neighborhoods with "blue haired old ladies and old dudes with orthopedic socks, and white assed legs bent over in their flowers beds showing the world wwwwaaay toooooo much.

So I sit here and I says to myself......"self" has time passed me by or was this a fast year? I started this year with one goal and that goal was to complete my first 100 mile ultra marathon. Well the end result of that was a big "DNF" So how do I fix that? What do I do next year to make sure that doesn't happen again? Do I consult a coach? Do I read some motivational books or DVD's?Iin some of my past jobs my bosses have hung motivational posters to boost moral and productivity. That was their solution for motivation. So what the Hell! Let's get a poster. But the question is........which one?

Will it be Ingenuity?

VAGINA?

BEER?

Diplomacy?

Fatherhood?

Flexibility?

Fail?

Stupidity? I know too many who have already claimed this one.

Carpet Muncher?

Dumb...Word to live by.

Conformism?

Or just having to deal with Retards?

Bohemian Alps Ultra Weekend

2007-09-17T10:51:00.000-05:00

Well this won't be an official race report. That's Blinks job.

Saturday I had an opportunity to go watch Blink run in the Bohemian Alps 50k Ultra Marathon. It was cool to watch an Ultra from a different prospective. Most Ultras are not crew/spectator friendly courses, but this race is ran on 90% gravel roads. So if a spectator chooses to drive the course and work as a Mobile crew, you can see the entire race.

This of course was the start of the race. There was 29 athletes.

We caught up with Blink at mile 5/6 and thought maybe he went out too fast. But after watching him for a few miles we realized he was just running his pace as planned.

He settled into a pace early in the day......and kept that pace. The other top five runners were all over the board. I guess the lesson learned here was. Pick a pace and stick with it.

This is Loma Nebraska. It had one bar, one church, 4 houses and 13 dogs.

Mile 28 to 30 took you through an area called Timber ridge. It's single track, trail running with lots of hills, and valleys. It's the most challenging portion of the race course.

Brainard Nebraska High Cross Country won State Track last year. This is where they train. I can see why they took state.

Well we've said once... and I'll say it again. Blink and I do things a little different from most endurance athletes.

Put a cooler of beer and a can of chew at the finish line. That seems to be the only motivation needed to get us to the end.

Blink finished this race at forth overall, but first to the cooler.
Blink you did a great job and ran a strong race. Congratulations on a nice finish.

What's the next best thing to running...."Crewing"

2007-09-11T23:17:00.000-05:00

The question is......What's the next best thing to running......The answer is..."crewing". I'm really looking forward to this weekend. My buddy Rob is running in the Bohemian Alps Ultra next Saturday. This is a 50k on rolling hills and gravel roads. The last 10 miles of this race is a combination of off-road trails and aggressive hills. I think that's what's makes this a crazy race, when you think the race is almost over. Then they throw in this section of the race and it can be an demoralizing experience. It's tough. All's you want to do is get home, and you find yourself jumping roots and running across ed cornrows. Ouch!

I have high hopes for Blink this week. He has been low-keyed about how he will do this week. I already know he'll do well. So I'm calling him out on this race. He will finish in the top 20. OK well there usually isn't more than 20 people that compete in this race. I think he will be in the top three.

This is a photo of Blinks crew two years ago. He is lucky enough to have Mrs. Blink and the two squirrel girls again this year. I'll be hitching a ride with them this year.

Blink I only ask one favor.......Please don't put any Doctor Seuss books in the van. If you do I'll give-em a Redbull before I send em home with you.

Good luck this week Brutha!

After the race the race we will be smoking some ribs and watching some Nebraska Football.

I already know where we'll be shopping.

You know you can't beat "Dicks Meat"

2007-09-10T22:12:00.000-05:00

Oh yes Monday night football is here. And guess what this Monday is? Double hitter. Bangles and Ravens, on the first game and 49rs and Cardnels on the late game. How lucky are we.

2007-09-04T16:52:00.000-05:00

It's been a while since I've sat down at the computer to write . We got back from South Dakota last week and jumped right back into our normal life. Work has been crazy lately, it seems all we have time for is eating and sleeping.

The South Dakota trip was fun. It will be one I'll never forget. The weather was great. No major problems to speak of other than one small speeding ticket (oops!). It was a great trip. The Leanhorse was a main reason for going and that was a great experience. I'll skip forward to the end result of the race first. I was unable to finish the race.

Yep. I got the Big DNF, but what I took away from the race was a monstrous learning experience. It's common to not finish your first attempt at a 100 mile ultra. No one likes to enter a race with the attitude you may not finish, but sometimes you have to keep in mind that no matter how much you train, plan and prepair, the best way to be successful in a race like this is to try it. Experience the race and come back next year with what you learned and use the that to your advantage in the future.

The three major things I learned: #1 Run smart. I didn't stick to what I know about how I personally run. I started off too fast for my own running ability. I got caught up in watching how fast everyone else was doing. I was being past up by dozens of people early in the race and thought I should keep up with the pack. I know better than that and the end result was, it hurt me. I know I have a tendency to have weak ankles. Within the first five miles of the race, the course took us onto a rocky off-road trail. I wasn't watching my footing and folded my ankle on a rock. (end-O'd) It didn't hurt at first but after 30 miles it did.

#2 Eat and drink right. I thought it would be a good idea to travel light at first so I didn't have a water bottle to sip on for the first 15 miles. When I past aid stations I caught myself chugging water and sports drinks. My stomach didn't like that and eventually it started reject anything I put in it.

#3 Train harder. I needed more road-time in. Perhaps a few early season races. Most of the people running the race, just came from other Ultra's the week prior. I met many people who ran the Leadville 100 mile Ultra week prior. Most people use shorter Ultra's and marathons as training runs. Lastly, this year I hung up my bike and swim goggles to run 100% of the time. For me.....I needed more pool time and cross training.

In short......I had a blast. The race was well run and

I got to puke on one of the most beautifully parts of the Black Hills. Unlike an old dog, I did learn some new tricks and looking forward to future Ultra's. Now this is behind me. I can start looking forward to Coeur D'alene Iron Man.

This is pre-race early morning stretch.

On the starting line. Dark and damp morning.

Jerry Dunn (RD) was giving the last minute briefing.

This was the official sounding of the gun. The start of the race. I joked with other racers and said this was as close as I will be to being at the front of the pack. Little did I know how short that lasted.

More of the start.

The race director bragged about how this race is one of the flattest Ultra courses around. Let me ask you this? ........Does these hills look flat to you? They kick my ass.

This is early in the day.

I'm hurtin. This is just outside of Pringle SD.

Some of the views of South Dakota.

This is my crew chief. Let me tell you about crew chiefs. They will drive all day then wait on you. Then they drive some more and wait. They put up with your cranky ass attitude. They truly see you at your worst and still give you whatever you need to help make you comfortable. They should give trophies to crew chiefs because they do have the toughest job on earth.
I think anyone who participates in endurance sports eventually puts their family and friends on the back-burner. We are somewhat selfish in completing our goals. We don't deserve a crew or support, but let's thank God for those people who are there to help us. It wouldn't be possible with out them.

After the race we had a few days to enjoy the South Dakota scenery.

I wanted to eat that duck.

One thing about South Dakota. We got to see Deer, Mountain goats, Elk and Bison.

Here's a quiz for you........See the tail on the back Buffalo? What is he doing?

2007-08-23T00:07:00.000-05:00

Well there is no other way to say it other than.

I'M DAMN F#$^%ING EXCITED TO GET THIS RACE GOING.

I'm leaving today at 12pm and spending a night in North Platte Nebraska (half way point) I've been planning this race for two years and the time has finally come. Fail or finish proudly. Who knows what the outcome will be, but I'll take whatever the trail-gods throw at me. I've said one thing; I'm going down, not to ....start a race..........but to finish one. So that's all one could hope for, just a finish. I'll take it. Like I said before this is a 100 mile ultra marathon called the http://leanhorse.com/ I've done half the distance in the past, but this will be double. Now I've trained hard. I've put my heart into this race but the outcome is still unknown. .....There is only one thing for sure. I'm planning to have fun. So wish me luck, I hope everyone has a great weekend, and I'll see you all on the flip side.

Nesting

2007-08-20T10:45:00.000-05:00

Now that I'm into my second week
of a two week taper and my first 100
mile Ultra is less than a week away
I'm finding myself in a Nesting period.
I've gone from running 65-85 mile weeks and now I'm just doing nice relaxing fun runs. Nothing over 10 miles. So whats a boy do with his extra time. Well instead of banging out miles on the trail. The grass is getting mowed. I'm organizing closets and spending more time with Aneta which is good for me but I'm sure she is ready to kick me out. In fact she keeps asking me if I'm going to go for a run? Well I can take a hint. I spent an entire day packing my drop bags for the race. That proved to be a challenge. I had to ask myself, what do you need on the trail? where and what time? So I had to look ahead and take a guess. I will be able to drop a bag off at mile 16, mile 24, mile 35 and mile 50 so that means I will be able to visit those bags on the way back home on miles 64, 76 and 83. So how does one know where he might be, and when? If the sun is going down and you might want to get a flashlight from your needs bag and who knows if you are going to be on mile 60 or 80. More important. "WHERES MY TOILET PAPER"?

So what should a bratha take?.......That's tough so take it all. I'm pack'in aspirin, salt pills, power bar, towels, safety pins, shot blocks, gel pack, water, energy drink, Gatorade, chicken soap, nanners, PBJ sandwich, fuel belt, foot care products, duck tape, knife, body glide, gloves and warm cloths, rain gear, MP3 player, head lamp, camera, maps, predicted split times, cab fare (kidding) extra shoes, socks, sunscreen, bug spray, liquid band aid extra hats, bandannas and bunwipe.

Plus I will have a choice of food and gear that will travel in the crew car too. My crew chief plans to strap Fosters to the bumper of the car and drive ahead of me for motivation. That might work.

Well if I'm going to spend two

weeks Nesting, then I'm going

to take some time and carbload.

I've always heard it's a good idea and who am I to argue.

2007-08-18T11:45:00.000-05:00

Well I guess the time is coming near. One
Week from today (Saturday) I will be 4 hours
into my first attempt of my first 100 mile Ulta.

The Lean Horse Ultra Marathon starts Saturday August 25Th at 6:00am from Hot Springs South Dakota and leads 140 runners down the Mickelson Trail to Hill City SD and back. Like I said before, this is my first attempt at the 100 mile distance. It's double the distance of my previous Ultra. The Lean Horse claims this is the easiest 100 mile race with limited elevation changes, crushed lime stone surface and no technical areas on this race course. The toughest part about this race is the distance and time on your feet. That's why I chose this race. I need all the help I can get.

Thursday August 23rd we travel from Omaha to North Platte to overnight. This is the halfway point. We'll drop off the dog and spend time with the parents.

Friday we'll leave North Platte and arrive in Hot Springs at 12:00pm to check into the hotel.

Participants and Crew check-in at 3:00pm.

3:30pm Final race briefing and medical check.

5:30pm to 9:30pm. The last supper. Participant and crew meal at the Flat Iron Grill.

9:31pm SLEEP!

Saturday August 25Th 5:00am race check-in.

6:00am Start of the race and run towards a buckle.

6:01am Wonder "what the "%*&#" I just got myself into.

Sunday August 26Th 8:00am I hope to be somewhere near the Finish Line.

Sunday August 26Th 12:00pm race course closes.

1:00pm Celebration Feast and awards ceremony.

1:01pm BEER and more BEER.

I thinks it's important to pick the right crew. This last week
Aneta (Crew Chief) has been giving me the royal treatment.
How lucky am I. A crew that gives nightly foot rub-downs.

I really don't know what I did to deserve this but you know
what they say. "When in Rome"

I think I'll just go with it.

Aneta plans to crew me by car during the race. The Lean Horse allows pacers during the final 50 miles of the race or a crew to meet you at various aid stations during the race.

I plan to have special needs drop bags at six different aid stations during the race and Aneta will drive ahead and meet up with me during the race for added support and anything else that I might need that might not fit in each drop bag.

Like I said it's important to pick the right crew.

Benefits, Benefits and more Benefits ...

2007-08-11T17:36:00.000-05:00

Well my next and last race for this year will be the http://leanhorse.com/ Ultra 100 Mile Marathon. I've been asked what kind of training is required for this race and I've found one of Chris Farley's Ultra Fit workout video's and I tell ya what. I really think it's paying off. It comes with black stripper pants, white cuffs and a sweat obsorbing neck tie for those really long workout sessions. He also recommends a plate of wings and a pitcher of bud "chaser" to get the full benifit of this workout.

2007-08-09T23:42:00.000-05:00

This is my Lil buddy Roper. I lost him to old age last May. He past at age 11. He was a good 'ol turd. His falsify in life was ..........If you can't eat it or screw it then Piss on it and walk away.

This is Hank and Roper my two boys. They have saved my life by being the best two companions anyone could ask for.

I would like everyone to meet my family. First and most important. This is Aneta my girlfriend. She is a little spunky gal from Poland. She came here when she was 13 and we met about two years ago. I ordered her off the Internet for $40.95, it helps when you got a coupon from price choppers for 50% off. Just kidding we met at our previous job and hit it off ever sense then. I swear she has saved my sanity and I don't know how because she's as crazy as they get.
