Scott, busy racing, travel, work and family schedules, you surely have the perfect ingredients for great performances in your 40s! ;-) All the best for yet another amazing season and UTMB especially (let me know if you want a few tips).
See you at least at Way Too Cool then!

You're going to UTMB??? AWESOME!! That is so, so cool, Scott. I'm super stoked for you!
I'll definitely be seeing you this year. (It's been a while!) Memorial run, WTC, and TRT.
Good luck with all your training. Have fun, and we'll see you out there!

Excited to have you out in SoDak for Black Hills this year! Adam is being a bit modest...he didn't just run the BH100 last year, but also won it. So any advice he gives, I'd listen to!

Scott!

My Austin is doing the Austin marathon too and we are all going to support her! Is your family going? We'd love to see you!

I'll be at Way Too Cool and cheering on Colin at the Tahoe Rim Trail 100M - his first 100 miler. See you out there!

Scott, best wishes with your busy season and I sincerely hope you stay out of the mudders. If there's a more perverse concept---as far as where we the humans want to be vs. the nature, and as far as what user fees enable the corporation to do---it must be an oil company. For a zero-natural-impact challenge (according to peer-reviewed studies), check out your local orienteering club's events, adventure races and adventure runs!

Those looking for Crystal Springs 50k photos, I got about 60 good ones and posted them here.

Wow Scott, I can't wait for August to come around - that UTMB report is going to be one hell of a read!

Scott,

Love your schedule. I'll see you at the Memorial Run, couldn't miss it. I checked out the Auburn century ride, looks fantastic, especially the 140 mile version! Can't wait to hear how Mont Blanc goes. If anyone can truly appreciate that race, it's you. Enjoy!.

Scott, take your time!!! My race bib is 129 :)

2012-01-10T20:07:21.323-08:00

Great schedule. Last time I posted on your blog was in 2009 asking about 50k vs 50m for a first ultra. After 2 50ks I was at Tahoe for my first 50m in 2010 and was sorry to have missed you. If you haven't gone past 50k there and you can stretch it this year I recommend it -- the scenery past red house loop, not to mention the climb from Diamond Peak, are well worth it. Best of luck in 2012!

2012-01-10T19:43:36.243-08:00

Scott, love reading your blog and will look forward to seeing you at the Black Hills 100. It'll be my first time for this race, but - from two experiences at Lean Horse at bit south - know that Jerry Dunn & Co. will deliver a great race experience for all. Keep writing! Mark

2012-01-10T13:38:42.571-08:00

Were excited you chose the Black Hills 100 as your 2012 hundy! We hope you enjoy "Crusin the 89" as much as we do.

Big schedule, Scott! We're stoked to have you...

2012-01-10T12:33:04.803-08:00

Big schedule, Scott! We're stoked to have you on the Inside Trail Racing Team and look forward to sharing the trails with you this year.

What a wonderful (and ambitious) 2012 adventure schedule for you, Scott. I wish you and your family the best. Perhaps I will see you at Huddart sometime--I love that place...and I really am jealous that you can walk right out your drive onto the trails there....
BTW, great job on covering the PCTR/ITR saga in a prev post--well-written. .....and the comments.....quite an education. Coming from out-of-state, I fortunately picked up on some of the early signs of the problems in 2010 and, thus, avoided becoming a victim in 2011. Good luck with the "team" representation.
Finally, if you could possibly share what camera you now use that shoots "in the raw" and if you like it, I'd really appreciate it. I have an older Nikon D70S that I may want to swap out for a newer model.
Thanks for all of your efforts, Scott. As Todd, above, exclaimed, you really are an inspiration.
All the best, Ann

2012-01-10T10:33:51.096-08:00

Damn, that is a full schedule. All you are missing is the Norcal Tough Mudder!

2012-01-10T10:26:40.263-08:00

My, I am going to see you more than I can handle! When coming to Austin, email me, we can hobble around. I may even figure out my injury by then enough to make a full struggle 26. Then, the BH100, and Tahoe (please take your camera again for the small loop where you'll catch me!). It is certainly fun to plan, and glad the job thing worked out for the best. You know, you do have a big family to feed!

2012-01-10T10:19:37.222-08:00

I'm doing the memorial run, CIM, and volunteering at WTC50k! I can't believe you are doing the auburn century!! I've thought about it but I don't think my biking can get to that level by June. Your schedule looks amazing!

2012-01-10T09:05:50.515-08:00

Oh, was that you on Saturday at Crystal Springs, snapping photos on the uphill somewhere around mile 4?

I primarily do road races, but your 2012 schedule looks pretty nice, and makes me want to hit the trails more often.

I will keep an eye out for it! That new camera sho...

2012-01-10T08:06:48.355-08:00

I will keep an eye out for it! That new camera shoots raw format, and I now have a Terabyte to upload, so it may take a day or two to get it up. Can you remind me of your race bib #?

Hi Scott!! Hey! Thanks for taking my pics at the crystal springs 11 miler race! I was the girl in a bright orange long sleeve shirt with shorts! I was dying when I first saw you but seeing a familiar face lifted my spirits!! Thanks for being out there! Oh. Is there a way for you to email me those pic? Thank you!!!

2012-01-10T07:03:53.512-08:00

Todd - nice job at Crystal Springs! I'm still going through the photos I took - hopefully there's a good one.

Adam - I'll take any tips you got for BH100!

2012-01-10T06:24:18.902-08:00

You'll like Black Hills. I ran it last year and those guys did a good job, I'm sure they will polish it up more this time around.

2012-01-10T06:18:56.536-08:00

What an awesome calendar for the year! I particularly want to do that century in Auburn. Have you ever run the Palo Duro Trail Run in Palo Duro Canyon (just south of Amarillo, TX)? If not then you should! It's in October. The longest distance available is a 50 miler. Excellent event!

Congrats on the great news of 2011, and good luck ...

Congrats on the great news of 2011, and good luck with the running season of 2012.
