Aloha Athletes ! Everybody had so much fun last Saturday at Peacock Flats that we decided to return to the scene of the crime this Saturday…same time…same station. So, plan to be at the parking lot behind the Dillingham Airfield Control Tower at 6 am sharp. As always, bring plenty of fluids, as summer is…
It appears that the Laysan Albatross colony up at Peacock Flats has gone missing. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20090330/NEWS14/903300334 I'm reposting the link from the Honolulu Advertiser since we do training runs up at Peacock and it's possible that someone saw some sort of activity in that area. Our regular training runs do not actually go through the nesting…
Aloha Athletes ! A nice crowd came out to Peacock's last Saturday and hopefully this Saturday will be no exception. Peacock Flats provides a great workout and beautiful vistas. Be prepared for warmer weather, which will be arriving soon, so a stash at the bottom of Long Road will become more-and-more essential over the next…
I am headed up to Peacock in the next week sometime (depending on weather) and wanted to know if anyone needs anything brought up there? Also, if anyone wants to go for a drive up give me a call or e-mail me. I have enough room for 5 people including myself. If you come plan on spending…
Here are some Run to Sun photos from both PJ and Cheryl. Some of these show just how cold and icy it was up high on Haleakala. Thanks Click here to go to album.
Aloha Athletes ! With all the fun of another Run to the Sun just a memory, it's time to return to the real world of trail running. Several of our friends are training for races on the mainland, Marian, Ernest and Gil for Western States 100…Rex for Kettle Moraine 100…and Devon for Angeles Crest 100…did…
FINAL UPDATED 3-19-09 (Hopefully) Great efforts by all who toughed it out and participated in the 2009 Run to the Sun. Congratulations to all the participants and thank you to all the volunteers. Click here for the individual results and here for the team results. Special thanks to Aubrey Hord for taking such great photos…
Ok Sean Miesser has won. Fukio from Japan second and Jamie Armstrong from Canada third. I was awoken by a loud thunderclap this morning at about 4:30 a.m. I guess that was my due for not toeing the line at the start of Run to Sun this year as that is about the start time….
Well I am back to running, on the road at least. My knee feels good and isn't swollen. I have run 20 miles so far this week. I get to transition to "trail" (soft dirt path) soon. Look out Peacock and Pupukea:) I want to thank everyone for their support, especially my family. The physical therapist has…
According to last night's weather report, and the fact that the weather on Haleakala can be more extreme than at sea-level, I pulled-out some winter clothing and even some gloves to take to Run to the Sun. You might want to do the same. There's a drop bag location at the Ranger Station/Visitor Center at…
