Fat Dog 120 in just two weeks time. It has been a long and toilsome journey back to health and fitness, but I am thankful for the process as much as the outcome. I finally feel ready to walk the fine edge between breakdown and breakthrough. Not sure there is much difference in strategy between 100 and 120. I guess I will find out.

| Matty and I cut that step into the big round in 2013. Our saw was too small to go all the way, so we spent an hour hacking a step in so you could vault over. The next year, the Forest Service removed the round. |

We are happy to read that you will do the Fat Dog 120. Come back in one piece! Looking forward to your report! - Thank you for the great photos! - Ulli and Traudl
ReplyDeleteI shall do my best Ulli. Thanks for the kind words my friend.
DeleteRight on, Jeremy! Can't wait for you to wreck shop at Fat Dog!
ReplyDeleteGonna hurry to finish so I can stare at twitter for details of your massacre of the Eastern States 100 course.
Deletegreat pics. thanks for sharing. keeping my McCall stoke alive as I mostly run the valley floor over this way. wishing you the best as you take on that big fat adventure soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Josh. Enjoy that thick Oregonian air.
DeleteThanks again for putting on a great event last month. Looking forward to the Legend of BP next month.
ReplyDeleteGet out there and run it. Better yet, chainsaw Pete Creek for me! There are a few nasty pieces down and the motobikes don't ever ride there to cut it. We did it last week. It is such a good course. Do you know how to get to the summit?
DeleteFinish with a soak at BDorf.
I've never run out there. Will get out there before the race weekend arrives. Maybe this weekend or next as things are quiet at work right, fire wise.
