I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

Hey everyone- if I have any blog readers left, don't worry, I am still alive. I have been in South Carolina for over a week, and just bought a computer. Still no internet, so I'm pilfering a bad connection from some neighbor. And don't worry, I've run lots (getting home at 10 pm most nights), including some sweet trails in both North and South Carolina. Put it this way- I ran over 5000 ft of vert climbing last Saturday on some sweet trails near Asheville, NC. And 2900 ft today with 20 miles. I'll update my blog once I have reliable internet. But in the meantime...

I Need A Crew Chief for the Bear 100. Anyone interested? I have 3 awesome pacers (Joe, Cody, and David Nelson), but would like to add 1 person who can just worry about crewing/driving/etc. Anyone interested? Sept 24 and 25 in Logan. I would be forever grateful. Let me know if you want more details.

Lunch- 9.5 miles with some of the GE runners. Warm and humid- I'm not used to finishing with a drenched shirt. 850 ft climb thanks to rolling hills.

PM- 10.5 miles at Paris Mountain. 1:36 (9:06 avg) with 2000 ft climbing. Finished well after dark- ended up bailing on the trail and ran the last 1.5 on the road... cause I'm not as crazy as Cody.

I'm not responding so that you'll get your hopes up or anything...but what are a few of the details? I don't know the first thing about being a crew chief, but imagine it has something to do with making sure everyone has everything they need, when they need it and are where you need them to be when you need them to be there.

Jason- I give pretty detailed instructions to my crew (just ask Cody and Paul). Your primary purpose is the drive the vehicle to each aid station, and be ready to get me through the aid station as quickly as possible, while meeting my needs. Fill bottles, have my clothes ready, haul gear, etc. Keep me moving, minimize stopped time. And also help the pacers with what they need at the aid stations, and get the other pacers to where they need to be.

Jon, I would love to help at so many levels. But my grandparents are coming in from Chicago that weekend so that my wife and I can go out for our 6 yr wedding anniversary that Saturday... Hopefully by commenting we can get you on the "Hot Discussions" list and find you someone.

Back to not getting your hopes up...Right now I'm focusing on TOU and a BQ, possibly sub 3. I don't want to expend mental energy worrying about you relying on me to have everything you need where and when you need it. But, I suppose I can put in an extra 25 minutes each day in September. Then, if no one else has stepped up, I have a vehicle that should be able to be where you need it to be and would have a day I can take off from work. Also, in the event that no one else can, keep me posted on everything you can think of so when my mind wanders, I can come to be on the same page you are on...
