aloha HURT gang! Here is the skinny on Chicago: We re-conned the course the day before by "hanging out" on the 103rd floor of the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. I could tell that Nate was drooling over getting his BASE jumping career going early. We blindly put our faith in engineers and architects like Senelly…

Planning to push out from Paradise Park around 5:30pm for a HURT double. If you are doing Peacock Flats as a training run, then this is a good build. If you are racing Peacock Flats, think twice. Not planning to drop supplies around except at Paradise Park. Working on nutrition and slow pace endurance, so…

Aloha Athletes ! In addition to the gut-busting Peacock 54, we now have the only-half-gut-busting Peacock 54 option: The Peacock 54 Relay. It's all Gordon's fault, so give him all the grief…I'm totally innocent…like I always am. So, now all of you who have used the excuse "I wasn't able to train enough" (excuse #4)…
Aloha Athletes ! Well, we're almost there, with only 2 Saturday's before the Peacock 54 race on October 24, 2009. If you're not quite there training-wise, it's likely you won't be quite there training-wise on race day. Oh well…so it goes. You may have to tough it out a bit. It builds character. So, as…
I came down the Kealia Trail last Saturday morning convinced that I was done. I had 38 miles on my feet and was ready to call it a day, and more importantly my quads were telling me they didn't like me very much. But when I got to the bottom I let the morning crowd…

The Peacock 54, in three weeks, marks the end of the Trail Series and the beginning of HURT training. The period after Peacocks is is often a time when the few courageous recover from the 54 and mull over their training schedules for the next couple of months. It is also that time when those…
A few days ago, Waddell became the first paraplegic to summit Kilimanjaro on his own power. You can ask my wife Lesley, Don Fallis, or me: this is a big, tough mountain to make it up on two feet, let alone Waddell's method. Check out his blog, which is supposed to have video of his…
Something to turn those friday night dreams pleasant…..tomorrow's reality. I headed out toward Dillingham before the Friday afternoon rush hour fouled the roads and brought the flow of traffic to a standstill. Made it there in less than an hour and with surprisingly easy driving. Moving along the bottom of long road by 4:10, I was hoofing…
HURT enjoys the privilege of partnerships with State and Federal agencies that hold the responsibility of protecting Oʻahu public lands. Those partnerships are based upon mutual trust and cooperation and shared concerns for the ʻaina. To keep that trust and continue to be provided the opportunity to host trail events, we (HURT) must understand and abide by rules that govern our partner agencies.
HURT does organize and facilitate official trail maintenance only when coordination with our partners has occurred. All trail work is performed under the supervision of a permitted individual with advance permissions. Some trails are off-limits for HURT to perform trail maintenance due to the sensitive flora. No HURT trail maintenance will occur outside of these parameters.
HURT and its partner agencies require that no self-directed trail maintenance occur on publicly-owned trails. Any individuals performing trail work outside of official HURT-organized events, are doing so on their own accord and will be held personally responsible by State and Federal agencies for any violations. Such activity could jeopardize our relationships with partner agencies and lead to inability to use public lands for our events.
