I’m finally getting around to writing a race report for the American River 50 2023. It’s going to be short, mostly because I can’t really remember this race since it was last year. I chose to run this race because it is basically an American classic ultra race that has been around forever. It used […]
Read more "American River 50 mile Race Report 2023"I honestly never wanted to run a 100 mile race. Anything further than a 50 mile race was simply not appealing to me. I knew that to be successful at running a 100 mile race I would have to significantly drop my pace and hike quite a bit. Also the fact that most runners at […]
Read more "Tahoe Rim Trail 100 – My first 100"This was my third “longer” race this season. To recap my plan for 2018 was to run some races longer than around the 50k (31mi) distance. I started the year at the Black Canyon 100k with a “test” of this longer distance and then gave it my all in the Silver State 50mi, only to […]
Read more "Tahoe Rim Trail 50 Mile Race Report"I love the Silver State 50/50 race. First off, it is in my backyard so I know the mountain very well. Second, the Silver State Striders led by Race Director John Trent are really and truelly a great group of people who do it for the runners and for their love of the community and […]
Read more "Silver State 50 Mile Race Report"I’ve decided that this year I will attempt some longer races than I have been running.

Read more "Black Canyon 100k"I signed up for this race in the middle of last year. It is a lottery so you have to register early and hope you are chosen to compete. Fortunately for me the 55K distance is not too hard to get into. When I looked at my race season I didn’t really put all my […]
Read more "Tahoe Rim Trail 55K Race Report"The Silver State 50/50 is one of my favorite races. Not only is it basically in my backyard but I know many of the people from the Silver State Striders who organize the race and they are truly great people who want to put on a great race. This was the 32nd year of this […]
Read more "Silver State 50K 2017 Race Report"After a not so great experience at Speedgoat 50k I wasn’t really amped to jump into another skyrace and blow myself up. I wimped out and decided to sign up for the 26k instead. BUT, after I had a great race at the Silver State 50k by getting my nutrition and hydration dialed in I […]
Read more "Broken Arrow Skyrace 26K Race Report"Why was I nervous the week leading up to this? I had run the race three previous times and knew Peavine like the back of my hand. I knew where every rock, climb, technical descent, etc. was so it wasn’t like there was some unknown variable I would have to deal with on race day. […]
Read more "Silver State 50k – Race Report"I learned that you can have a bad race, yet it can still be an awesome experience. Speedgoat 50k is a mountain running race that falls into the category of skyrunning. This means it is extremely steep with a lot of elevation gain and generally very rugged.
