Gray socks with a green stripe bonfire eve! (I bet she didn't wash them so they would have more power!)
THE 2007 HARDROCK 100 WILL BE HELD:
FRIDAY, JULY 13TH THRU SUNDAY, JULY 15TH
The 2007 - 14th running of the Hardrock 100 Endurance Run will start at 0600 July 13th and end at 0600 July 15th, 2007 in Silverton, Colorado. The ’07 course will be a 100 mile COUNTER-CLOCKWISE loop through the back country of the San Juan Mountains in beautiful southwestern Colorado. The Hardrock 100 connects or passes near the old mining towns of Silverton, Lake City, Ouray, Telluride and Ophir. With a total elevation gain of approximately 33,000' and an average elevation at near tree line of 11,186', the Hardrock 100 peaks out at over 14,000’ on Handles Peak, one of Colorado’s 14’ers.

I am sitting here in the gym of the highschool where this amazing race started at 6am (I slept in of course). I've made some friends with some of the 130 runners are staying here at this very nice hostel with a very warm motherly innkeeper that makes us feel at home while I deal with the impending voodoo curse where the evil aging witch burns my gray Aussie socks...to top this new curse, today is Friday the 13th. The nice beautiful bartendress (their are actually some nice ones that haven't been damaged by all the evil men in their live) who delivered me a delicious margarita with the Mexican buffet said that I need to find the common weed, OSha(I don't know how to spell it), to serve as a protective talisman. All the people appear to be very nice in this small town of about 300-500 depending on the season.
Later on today I might go to one of the checkpoints of this race around the moutains with this doctor who has run in this race 5 times. She is so tiny but looks in fantastic shape. I don't feel old because many of the runners are even older than moi. They take care of their bodies and it's great to see their joie de vivre!

Anyway. Sounds like the next best thing to the Tour de France which, by the way, you're missing. M
