17rides0n: Grand Canyon Trail Run
http://jflan710.blogspot.com/2008/04/grand-canyon-trail-run.html
Saturday, April 12, 2008. Grand Canyon Trail Run. I ended up driving more than twice as long as running today, but it was definitely worth it! The Bright Angel trail is the heavily used touristy trail.and there were alot of folks on it today. it is also less steep (but a little longer) than the Kaibab, so it makes sense to head up this way. Water is also available at the Indian Garden (11mile mark) so definitely best to have this at the end of the day, instead of 4.5 miles in! Just dreaming of this run.

Sunday, May 4, 2008. Tri for your Cause race report. Today i raced in the Tri for your Cause. Yeah i just cited wikipedia. The swim itself was uneventful luckily, but i was pretty slow without a wetsuit and suffering in the cold. In action (or inaction.). Oh yeah, this is for Jen. It happens to all of us. Saturday, May 3, 2008. Here's me skiing with a cycling jacket and other assorted borrowed apparel (thanks katie! Today i headed up to Boulder to pick up my packet for the " Tri for your Cause.

The Saga of a Speedy Sasquatch: GSSI Testing: Party Like the Pros
http://speedysasquatch.blogspot.com/2011/06/gssi-testing-party-like-pros.html
Sunday, June 5, 2011. GSSI Testing: Party Like the Pros. In the weeks following the 2011 Boston Marathon, a random twist of fate brought the good people of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) to me and I was invited to participate in nutrition and endurance testing while they were in NYC for the 2011 NFL Draft. My first thought was, “this can’t be for real, why the hell would I be chosen for such a thing? If you’re claustrophobic it probably isn’t that comfortable, but all in a painl...8221; I m...

The Saga of a Speedy Sasquatch: Running With The Devil
http://speedysasquatch.blogspot.com/2011/04/running-with-devil.html
Friday, April 22, 2011. Running With The Devil. Each song coincides with the section below it*. Within a few strides of leaving work for this past Boston Marathon weekend, “Fear is your only God! 8221; said the prideful devil turning my face and staring me down intently. “What are you going to gain from this run that will help you prep for Boston? A nice calf injury and hypothermia with a side of upper respiratory infection? What would you tell one of your runners? Needless to say I had a hard time shaki...

The Saga of a Speedy Sasquatch: Speedy Sasquatch & The Last Crusade
http://speedysasquatch.blogspot.com/2010/09/speedy-sasquatch-last-crusade.html
Friday, September 3, 2010. Speedy Sasquatch and The Last Crusade. Everyone checking out each other’s feet, seeing what brand, model and color scheme they’re rockin’ and giving their two-cents. I mean it’s like going to buy a car, something I haven’t done in over a decade, but the analogy still works! These proud purists have gone back to their hunter gatherer roots and are running barefoot like our centuries old ancestors! So how DO we know? Can we know with any sort of certainty whilst in the store?

The Saga of a Speedy Sasquatch: November 2009
http://speedysasquatch.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Why Oh Why Do We Do This? It is the question to end ALL questions: Why? People look for answers in all facets of life, but none are looked at with more skepticism, disbelief and rolled-eye inquisitiveness than that of the endurance athlete. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers (and sisters – sorry William, the ladies rock! Have I got ya thinkin’ yet? Why do I run? Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Saga of a Speedy Sasquatch: The Sasquatch vs. The Fly: 10K Main Event
http://speedysasquatch.blogspot.com/2010/05/sasquatch-vs-fly-10k-main-event.html
Friday, May 21, 2010. The Sasquatch vs. The Fly: 10K Main Event. T’was a week ago this Saturday. A most beautiful morning I have to say. One perfect to run a blistering pace. With a sinister smile upon my face. During the Healthy Kidney 10k. I was sure that I would dominate the whole way. Sprinting up hills while others just faded away. But as it would be. Something happened to me. And this wasn’t to be my day. All was well during miles 1 to 3. Unleashing my legs and setting them free. Or if I had reache...
