2013 San Juan Solstice
The San Juan Solstice 50 mile run was last weekend. It’s always been a favorite race of ours, and this year was made even better when both Christy and I managed to finish in our best times to date. (more…)
Mixing it Up
[Christy here] With pretty incredible spring snow conditions continuing in Colorado, it has actually been hard to wrap up the skiing. However, this past weekend we finally started to transition into summer, splitting our weekend 50 - 50 between running and the Centennials project. (more…)
The Bear 100
It was about as smooth as they get for me. That's my take as I reflect on last weekend's Bear 100 run. Considering how many different ways one can come up short in these things, and that I ran the race without any crew or pacers, smooth is good. And to finish near the front with a sense of things being somewhat routine made it even better. In fact, (more…)
Run Rabbit Run 100
Christy ran the inaugural Run Rabbit Run 100 miler in Steamboat last weekend. I crewed for her and had some thoughts on the race.
A little Hardrock 100 home video
Thanks to the efforts of pacer/friend Chris Davenport, I ended up with some video footage from Hardrock earlier this summer. I have to confess, I wasn't always in the mood to talk when he turned on the Contour HD camera during the late stages of the race, but when I finally got to looking at the footage recently, I was psyched he had brought it with him.

Tahoe Rim 50 – A run with a view
[Christy here]Wow. What a weekend. I would definitely recommend a trip out to Lake Tahoe for the Tahoe Rim Trail 50 mile run. Not knowing anything about this event before I signed up, I was blown away by the course, and the fun, summer lake scene only added to the weekend. Heading out to Lake Tahoe for a long weekend in the middle of July is kind of a big...
Hardrock 2012
In the days that follow this enormous undertaking, I'm usually so drained-- mentally, physically, and emotionally-- that I struggle to assimilate all that took place. I recall it in bits and pieces-- mental images of the course, fragments of conversations with crew and pacers, or memories of thoughts as to how I was feeling or what was happening. To look back on it can almost take on a Hollywood-esque "life...
2012 San Juan Solstice 50
Put another San Juan Solstice 50 in the books. It was Christy’s 4th finish here, and my 5th, and despite us both having a good amount of experience at this race, we’ve found that it is always a tough, unpredictable day. (more…)
Ramping Up
Summer’s here. It’s time to change gears. Among other things, that means it’s time to get running. The races are right around the corner. Actually, they’ve already started. The Golden Gate “Dirty 30” 50K was Saturday. I realize we were completely immersed in ski mountaineering just two weeks ago, but that’s just how it is sometimes. We like to keep the calendar full. Christy and I first ran this hilly...
The Luck of the Draw
The lottery for the 2012 Hardrock 100 was on Sunday, and I'm thrilled to report that I got in again. Some say the lottery process is the hardest part of the race. While that's definitely an exaggeration, if you're not given a chance to run because you can't get a number, well then it's sort of true. This year, there were 658 people vying for 140 slots, so some 79%...
About Christy & Ted
We met in Aspen in 2000 and have been happily stuck in the rockies ever since, getting out in the mountains every day we can, in every season and by all means possible. Read More
