More Photos from 2010 HURT 100 by Jimson Carr

My apologies to Jimson. When I saw him, he was up on Nuuanu trail on Saturday, before you get to the grassy knoll on the way up to the bench.

He sent me a link to his photos and I was just in recover and clean up mode right after race. In any case, I found his card to today and want to give you all a chance to view his photos.

Click here to see them. He has some great shots, including Mike Sweeney playing up in Pauoa Flats.

Aloha,

Bob

Two Ways to Go Play on Maui: March 6 and May 22

Aloha all HURT fans. Here's an update on the UNOFFICIAL Run to the sun. The run is slated for Saturday March 6. I've gotten a lot of response from local runners, down under and the great white north. What we have decided on is the following. The PM before the run some of us will meet at the Kahului Ale House (The start) from 5 pm on for food, beverage, camaraderie and any last minute details. We're also planning to meet there post run. Individuals can start at 0430 am and team can start at 0530 pm. Then again there are no rules so anytime you want to start. Carl Wirtl is starting at midnight. Again this is UNOFFICIAL so no fees, rules, no aid. You'll have to organize your own support, ride down the hill and Park entry fee.

Most of us will probably do this as a team. Please email your times when finished so I can complile an UNOFFICIAL finisher list. Call me on my cell if any questions or concerns. C-u on the MNT.

3rd annual 12 hours of Makawao forest, Makawao, Maui,HI Saturday May 22 0600-1800 hrs. Hey Ultras we would like to invite you to this fun little 12 hour trail run on Maui. Its about a 6.5 mile loop, half is up and the other half is down and I believe there is about a 1000 feet of elevation gain and loss. Its at about the 3500-4500 feet elevation and the entire loop is shaded. This is a picnic compared to the HURT trail like taking candy from a baby.This event is also UNOFFICIAL, so no fees, no rules, no whining, just fun. The transition runs through the parking lot so you can stage out of your car. The object is to see how many loops you can do. There will be a BBQ at a nearby residence following the run. You can Run, mtn bike, hike, do both, bring your favorite pet,do it as a team. Again no rules.

For info and directions call Tom Armstrong at 808 281-1135 or Bram Denhaan 808 280-4893

Ran for Hope

If you saw all of those yellow shirts at the finish, those were children and their family who are battling cancer.  I ran for them and this is my race report.  I never felt stronger.  http://cancerrunner.typepad.com/dailyposts/

Race Report from Brett Rivers on the 2010 HURT 100

Brett Rivers who finished as fourth place overall and third place male has a nice race report you can read here.

Be sure to read through to the end of his report where he has some other links too, including a pacing race report by Devon Crosby-Helms as she paced second place runner Nathan Yanko. You can read her story here.

Great stuff! Thanks

Go ahead and run in bare feet. Please!

I'm ruminating.  Which means I am not trying to sell anything except a hard time.   And I usually just give that away.   But I'm bothered by the recent slew of bare foot running articles by people who don't seem to know their feet from their anal sphincter.   The most recent article was about Kenyan runners who do so much better running in bare feet as they put less stress on their legs and knees.  ....Hey I did POSE.  I was a Track star...well in high school.....it took me forever to learn to run on my heels and that was at the age of about 28.   So I understand what is being said.  

Saturday Training/HURT Potluck 1-30-10

Aloha Athletes !

This Saturday you have the wonderful opportunity to have a workout, eat some great food and visit with friends. So, plan to meet at the entrance to Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden this Saturday morning at 7:00 am. You can do repeats in the Garden or go up to Pali Lookout and back, then bring your car to the equestrian area inside the Garden around 10 am, along with something good to eat for potluck. It's suggested that you also bring a chair and some bug spray. Unfortunately it's looking like I'll have to miss this fun event due to a trip to the mainland. Have fun !  I'll miss you guys !  Don

Jan. 30 Potluck and Found Wallet

First, the wallet

Happy ending!
Ryan Seto looked in his bag after the dinner, and found the missing wallet. He called me at 11:30 (we were still up, unwinding), so I gave him the owner's phone number, and we left a message for the owner too.
Long story short, Ryan spoke to the owner and drove his wallet to him. Yey!!

Secondly, I'd like to announce a post race pot-luck picnic at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden at 10 am on January 30th, across from the Equestrian Pavillian. This is towards the end of the park by the last camping area and bathrooms. It's a Saturday, and people can go over there and run early if they want. We will use that day to give away lucky number drawings for the goodies we forgot to give away at the dinner. John and I will fill a cooler and bring sodas. We can't wait to hear all the stories! We want to include all runners, their crews and pacers, volunteers etc,  Peter Daspit (our photographer), and Christopher (our Rolfer) are also be invited. Filesha LeRand will be in town and promised to come.

Please bring some food to share, a chair and bug spray. 

Please contact me or Cheryl if you have any questions.

Aloha, PJ
