• Lone Ranger Race Report (Part 4 and what I learned)

  Posted on July 27, 2010 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  No more leaving you hanging!  I took off for Lap #6 just before midnight.  My change of outfits and the humidity is the first thing I have noticed that has gone very bad.  We will keep this clean but 8.4 miles of needing more Body Glide and chafing issues was like adding insult to injury [...]

  I am going to do the best I can with the rest of the race report.  In my mind this is where the race really began.  That being said one complication is that my memory of the details is foggy.  Not sure if it was stress related from not feeling well or just being tired. [...]

  After the description of the course I thought you might enjoy a few pictures.  As we drove out of Philly my Mom snapped a few pictures on the way out of town.  This will give you a pretty good idea of what it looked like.  These pictures are from the front side of the course [...]

  They (whoever they are) always say don’t try anything new on race day.  I usually listen to that but for some reason today I did not.  I woke up with my stomach feeling a little strange already (was hoping that was nerves).  I decided to try a sports drink and start getting something in my [...]

  In a book and a movie they say to never give away the end and keep the audience hanging.  Well allow me to give you the ending now before we get to fat into this.  It is about 10pm on Saturday night July 17th as I lay on my back in the heat at Lloyd [...]

• A day to remember

  Posted on July 24, 2010 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  Well, I am back!  I have so much to say and it will take some time to do it.  It was not the picture perfect day I was looking for but I will have to say I am well pleased.  It was a day of fighting and suffering.  It was a day I will not [...]

• My expectations

  Posted on July 13, 2010 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  It has finally arrived.  After months of training for the Lone Ranger Ultra it is time.  I have been asked a lot recently what my expectations are for the race.  I have come up with only answer I probably know for sure.  ”Excitement mixed with plenty of pain, suffering and a lot of heat!” I [...]

• Where has the time gone?

  Posted on July 11, 2010 by tbrush3 in Uncategorized

  If all things go well in a week I will be finishing the Lone Ranger Ultra.  That is hard to imagine.  When you register for a race like this it just seems like a form you are filling out.  Week by week you get closer and closer.  Before you know it, here it is staring [...]
