Capt’n Karl’s night run
Posted by Brad in Race reports on 04. Jul, 2007 | 0 Comments
I went into this racing thinking it would be good to aim for 30+ miles but not knowing how far I would make it. I wasn’t familiar with the trails or really racing at night. I’ve done plenty of training runs before sunrise up at the Northshore trail, but have not done a race that [...]

The event Bar-H ranch is located about 5 miles outside St. Jo, Texas. To get there from Dallas, it’s a simple drive up I-35 to Gainesville, then west on Highway 82 to St. Jo. Just before the Dairy Queen, take the FM 2382 north about 5 miles. A gravel County Road 433 will appear on [...]

After missing the Bandera 50K due to family reasons and the Rocky Raccoon 50M due to a bad cold, I was anxious to get in another long run. With the East Texas 50K on the horizon, I decided to enter on the Wednesday before the race. Several of my friends were going and I had [...]

With only one completed 50K under my belt, I thought it would be a good idea to at least attempt the Palo Duro race this year. I’d wanted to do it for some time and heard lots of good reviews of the race and the course. It would live up to its expectations. Panoramic view [...]
Philadelphia Marathon

Though I hadn’t run more than 10 miles since May, I decided the Philadelphia Marathon had my name written all over it. I was wanting to run another road marathon, the forecast looked like it would be picture perfect, and I was jonesing for a big challenge. So last Friday, I signed up for the [...]
Prickly Pear 50K

Well it had to happen sooner or later and today was nasty enough for me to decide I just wasn’t having fun on the course. I picked up my first DNF (did not finish) at the Prickly Pear 50K after having run a little over half the distance. The course was setup to be a [...]
Bandera 50K

I told myself that if I were to get admitted to business school this year, I’d push my personal running distance record and enter an ultramarathon (an event longer than 26.2 miles). And after gaining admission to Wharton in Round 1, I wondered if I would really hold myself to this pledge. Knowing that I [...]
