Matt and I are leaving in the morning for Salt Lake City. Sunny will arrive on Friday. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. My unorganized packing is done. The flowers are watered and the animals are fed.
I have a pacer for the last 25 miles now and that makes me feel better. I have never met him but he is a friend of fellow Montrail/Nathan teammate, Bryon Powell. All is good. I am happy that he is looking forward to pacing me. For those who are interested, I think that the race has a webcast that you can watch to follow my progression. I am #186. I am hoping for a 27-28 hour finish.
Good luck to all who are racing this weekend. For everyone else, do something fun, something you might not normally do. You, know, STRETCH yourself.

Bryon Powell is an awesome Peep, I met him at GT100, he was awesome and not only paced the winner Andy in for a course record but went out on the course and helped out several more runners... sweet attitude!!
