The race is pau! That’s Hawaiian for finished. It was a great race with a lot of Aloha. We were fortunate to have the Hawaiian blessing of rain (and wind) at certain times throughout the race. This pleased some H.U.R.T. people because according to those who marked the trail on Friday, the course was just…

Aloha to all my friends ! Thanks to all my wonderful friends who showed-up last Saturday with a surprise belated birthday get-together. I’m almost certain that Cheryl was responsible, but everyone did a great job of keeping it a secret. It was very special, and I want to sincerely thank everyone who took time out…
The weather has been pretty nice since last week Friday. In fact I said to myself on Saturday, now this is what our weather is supposed to be like here in Hawaii. It was a beautiful day. I just looked at the forecast and it looks really good all the way through the weekend. With…
The past two Sunday’s I’ve been shopping at Costco and a few other stores. Normally the Sunday before the H.U.R.T. 100, I might spend some time getting my drop bags ready and just taking it easy. Preparing my own things for the race was always pretty easy. Especially after having done it several times before….
Several H.U.R.T. runners gathered Saturday morning for an easy stroll through the park–Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden, to wish Don Fallis a belated happy birthday, and to eat some good food. This picture unfortunately doesn’t show all who showed up–only those who stuck around late. All those running the H.U.R.T. 100 seemed ready to have get some…

Half-a-world away, one of our own H.U.R.T. runners will doing the same as you are–running 100 miles. Ben Cavazos is one of a very select few of runners who has participated in every H.U.R.T….
This past Saturday I think a few people were asking about gaiters, specifically Dirty Girl Gaiters. I said I would put up a link. Get your order in quick if you want them for race day. Not a bad idea considering the current course condition. I used DGG last year and was very pleased with…

Aloha Athletes ! Years ago on Monday night football, when the game was hopeless, Don Meredith would sing with his Southern drawl, "Turn out the lights, the party’s over". Well friends, if you’re not ready by now to run the HURT 100, you might as well sing the same song. But, I know that ALL…
