Bluff Volunteers Wanted
If anyone is interested in helping out during all or part of the Bluff, I will appreciate any available support. The race is starting at 8 am, so a couple of hours before that we will open registration. There aren’t going to any new registrations on race day, just number collection and confirmation of attendance. The course has to be marked (mostly the day before) and as much as possible on the day, cleared after the last runner. There will be 4 aid station locations:
1: Route 80, will be visited twice
2: Bluff Head will be open between 9 and 11 am (approximately)
3: Braemore will be open between 9:30 and 12 (approximately)
4: Rene Way open between 10 am and 3 pm (3 pm being the 7 hour cut off)
The finish will need to be manned from 12 until 6 pm (or earlier if everyone has finished).
At least 2 aid stations already have volunteers from Carlson Craft Brewery and Beauvais Printing and a third is provisional. I hope we’ll be able to have a Bimbler’s Station handing out plenty of ‘BS’ and encouragement as well!
If you can help out in any way, please email me at: jerry(at)mrbimble(dot)com.
Need motivating?
The autumn is rapidly approaching and talk has turned to fall marathons. For the undecided or those who might need a little motivational lift, check out the featured video.
Of course your goal doesn’t have to be a marathon. Getting out there running (or swimming and biking) is what matters!
Words of wisdom before VT
As the runners gathered the night before the VT100, Iggy presented words of wisdom and inspiration compliments of Forrest.
The Heel of Achilles
My favorite Greek Hero, Achilles’s only vulnerable spot was his heel by which his mother, Tethis, held him when she dipped him as as infant into the magical river Styx. Judging by everything that hurts my body these days, I feel that when it was mother’s turn to dip me in the Styx, she opted to have me dry cleaned.
Today was the first time ever that I put my gear on and talked myself out of a run. Some hero! Some heel!
