Saturday Training 11-1-08 “Manoa/Jackass Repeats”
Aloha Athletes ! The 2008 Peacock 54 is now history and it's time to get back to the HURT 100 course, with only 2 months of training left. Due to parking security concerns, one of our most popular HURT 100 training routes is the Manoa to Jackass repeats. This Saturday we will meet at the…
2008 H.U.R.T. Trail Series Ends in Epic Conditions
Congratulations to all the runners, volunteers, and race directors in the first Peacock 54. Wow, is all I can say. I have included photos from Gordon here. The full results can be seen here. Amazing efforts by all in what looks like incredible weather and conditions. The 2008 H.U.R.T. Trail series finished out a very…
Absolutely No Question of Toughness
Aloha Athletes ! I'm sure by now that all of you have already read both Mike and Devon's race reports and hopefully understand how very tough the race conditions were on Saturday's Peacock 54, but even after all that, I still have doubts that you understand how tough it was to finish the damn thing….
Peacock 54: Devon’s Back
Well my day started at 0100 after not being able to sleep. I drank about 6 cups of coffee and gorged on some food. My wife and kids drove me to the start and we got there at 0500. After helping set up I payed my $10 entry fee, went to the bathroom, and then…
A Blow-out in the Mud-out. A Hawaiian god Returns.
‘Disgustingly Phenomenal’ is what I was mumbling repeatedly to the guys in the lead of yesterday’s Peacock 54. To give you an idea of how phenomenal I am talking about, just so you don’t think I’m misusing the word—I had taken a few yard slide along the ridge trail and was washing the mud off…

Monica and Phil make it to Pairadice
Sunday saw a small group including Monica and Phil heading out from Manoa toward Jack-ass. I was a bit late and played catchup. It was a beautiful day and I caught a few shots on the way out. I added a few of the group on the way back. Also in the set are some…

Solo South Loop
Sometimes, there is nothing like running solo. No iPod, no conversation – just time to run and think about anything to pass the time. This last Sunday, I stepped out around 5:30am for a long overdue South Loop beginning from home in Kailua. The weather was nice and of course hardly any traffic at this…
One..more..mile..challenge
I have entered a special challenge and hope others will join in on the fun. It only requires a $20 entry fee and the ability to run one mile one day, then two miles the next and so on and so forth until you quit. 50% of the proceeds go to NAMI, an organization that…
Vi’s Run is Lots of Fun
Most of the HURT Crowd was busy doing things, and there were only a few HURT runners in a large crowd of people who did run. I was up on the hill, where I gave everyone a hard time…quite enjoyable. My shots are mostly of the valley, sorry. for not getting more of the other…
