She won't be joining us on the journey to Sparta this year, as it turns out, but knowing how much she wants to run this race, I'm sure she'll have it on her schedule again soon. ...and when that happens, the women's record very well could be hers!Dan Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148231660865011554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699712915773591243.post-53767336738582305982011-09-14T00:14:17.486-04:002011-09-14T00:14:17.486-04:00How about Jamie Donaldson, I think she will 'c...How about Jamie Donaldson, I think she will 'chick' quite a few of the guys!John Pricehttp://runvb2vb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699712915773591243.post-64455329209086777402011-09-13T23:11:58.860-04:002011-09-13T23:11:58.860-04:00Rajeev, I'm still unsure of my pre-race plans/...Rajeev, I'm still unsure of my pre-race plans/whereabouts on Tue & Wed, but I'll definitely see you on Thursday at the check-in meetings if we can't hook up for dinner on Wednesday.

It is very true that I am the least talented of all the US runners and I am in awe of all the achievements that you all will bring to Greece! I will try my best to make my country proud. It is the greatest honor for me to start the race with you all (and the other 341 runners)!!<br /><br />I land in Athens on Sep 24 but am leaving for some R&R in Corfu the very next morning. I return around noon on Wed, Sep 28. My phone# is (408) 838-8911 and it would be nice to have dinner Wed evening - I am meeting a few English friends for dinner in Glyfadas.<br /><br />Hugs.<br /> RajeevRajeevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440842184525325640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699712915773591243.post-72613576144654707682011-09-11T16:17:06.683-04:002011-09-11T16:17:06.683-04:00Awesome blog Dan.

The National Championships are certainly the perfect place to wear The Colors! I'll be cheering you all on via the website next weekend for sure. It's a great venue for the race, and I'm sure you'll rack up 100+ on that loop. If you're feeling like giving up before that, it's OK, just run one more lap for me first! Good luck!Dan Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148231660865011554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699712915773591243.post-76423622956477045812011-09-09T14:34:03.012-04:002011-09-09T14:34:03.012-04:00Thanks for the preview peek at the field, Dan. I&#...Thanks for the preview peek at the field, Dan. I'm very, very excited for you. I hope the race turns out to be everything you hope it to be (and more)! We'll miss you at North Coast, of course, but this Greek adventure is the equivalent of at least 10 North Coasts (conservative estimate, probably a bit low). Good luck and don't forget to take lots of pictures!<br /><br />P.S. At North Coast, I'll be wearing the prize I won for winning your "guess my total mileage at the 24-hour world championships in France" contest from last year!Ric Munozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757361847046350615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699712915773591243.post-36884949589409559922011-09-08T12:24:42.708-04:002011-09-08T12:24:42.708-04:00They cap it at 350, which fills very quickly.

It's the total opposite of UTMB in terms of size, marketing, sponsorship, etc. Runners aren't even allowed to wear any sponsor logos on their clothing without prior approval. The idea is to keep the whole event just about the running/history of the course, and not to sell stuff. No logos, no headphones, no pacers. I'm just happy they let us wear shoes!Dan Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148231660865011554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699712915773591243.post-72718155693888331362011-09-08T12:03:56.345-04:002011-09-08T12:03:56.345-04:00Looks like it will be a good field - hopefully the...Looks like it will be a good field - hopefully there will be a solid showing from the US contingent! <br /><br />Nice that they keep the field size reasonable (~350?). Not sure if you have seen video of the start of UTMB, but the 2500 or so runners makes it a bit of a mess. <br /><br />Hope the finishing touches to your training are going well!nmphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486058267340747104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699712915773591243.post-50702637897712278442011-09-07T21:18:53.899-04:002011-09-07T21:18:53.899-04:00Thanks, Sindy!
