2010 Western States Application Goes Live 10/1/09
Aloha Athletes, Just a reminder that if you want to put an application in for this race that you have 15 days to get it in. Well, maybe to be more precise, to get into the lottery for a chance to run the race. Here is the link for all the info: http://ws100.com/appform.htm Good luck….
For the Newbies… and the forgetful.
If you haven't run much at Peacocks and are still intent on doing a double loop I recommend you check out Last year's information post by Mike Muench and Sean Price. This is a must read for anyone who does not have the course memorized in daylight, and dark and stormy night. You might also…
Saturday Training 10-03-09 “Peacock Barfs”
Aloha Athletes ! I was so taken by the photo of Matt Stevens barfing on-the-run at the Maui Marathon Half-Marathon that it got me to thinking.

Matt Stevens wins Maui Half Marathon
I expected a post on this subject by Monday morning at the latest (that's Monday, Sep 21) but it now seems as if a landmark event is about to go unnoticed by the HURT community – which is why I feel the need to step in. While some of us were having a field day…

Vi’s Adventure Trek and Run Recap
Vi's Adventure Trek & Run came off without a hitch, except for all the cows in one of the pastures- they really weren't supposed to be there, but, what can I say?

Aloha Athletes ! Since I'm just the messenger and not the brains behind this Saturday Training stuff, my job is to "do what I'm told" and "don't ask questions or you'll lose your job"…and since I really need the money…here goes: This Saturday we meet at the bottom of Long Road at 4:00 am…that's 0400…
Trash Removed from Maunawili Falls Trail
Below is a photo of over 50 pounds of trash removed from Maunawili Falls Trail. I led a group from two high schools and a Rotary club up to the falls and removed every piece of trash we could find. As we always promote during races, never leave trash on our beautiful trails. If you…
Mahalo Gordon ! “You are the best !”
At the Peacock Flats Saturday Training this Saturday, everyone was very excited to see Gordon Lau's smiling face, there with his hunting dog Malia and a truckload of goodies, including 30 gallons of water for the stash, bottles of cold water, and cold Mountain Dew, orange drink and chips. He was there early and was still there…
Tough as Granite Trail Half-Marathon
Greetings Athletes, Yesterday I participated in the second annual Tough as Granite Trail Half-Marathon in Granite Bay, California near Auburn, CA. Since AC 100 was cancelled I wanted to find another trail race on the same weekend and this was the only one. The info on the website said that it would be scenic and…
