Attempting the 6 hour RUFA today. Will try for 3 summits of Grandeur Peak.

Ugh! That was a hard one. I should get some new body parts, train, and lose about 10 pounds.

Lots of great people though and the base aid station at Church Fork is the best restaurant in the Wasatch!

I looked up RUFA on the Internet. I looks like it is a little dangerous especially coming down. You must be part mountain goat or something.

I know what you mean about gaining weight. Since I have not been able to do much running in the last year I have gained 8 kg. :(

Been missing you at the Winter Series. Read through your January posts and figured out why.

A break sure sounds nice. Good luck keeping the fat off.

You Utahans have an odd penchant for running up extremely steep grades or flying down them!
