With this interview on the holy grail of running blogs, those who haven't heard of Thomas the Great yet are sure to, now.<BR/><BR/>As much as I admire your running (even though you're a jerk for de-throning me at the Triple), what really stands out to me is your commitment to your family. It's awesome! You're a great family man with an incredible wife and two wonderful sons.<BR/><BR/>See you in a few weeks at Tahoe. Let me know when you're going to man-up and run the 72er.<BR/><BR/>Seansaschasdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920379008380900505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-6070145864316533042007-09-04T14:47:00.000-07:002007-09-04T14:47:00.000-07:00Great interview, Scott.I also had the pleasure of ...Great interview, Scott.<BR/><BR/>I also had the pleasure of running "with" (read: behind) Thomas a number of times, and he is a great guy.<BR/> <BR/>It should be added that Thomas finished the Tahoe Triple in second place <I>only</I> because Johan Oosthuizen from South Africa had picked that race for his world record attempt (which was succesful with a combined time of 8:11 for the three marathons). 8:43 is still the second-fastest triple time ever and the third place guy was well over an hour behind Thomas in 2006.<BR/><BR/>Thomas: Good luck with qualifying for the 100K National championship, and see you at the tahoe Triple.<BR/><BR/>PetePeter Lubbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879965812417533648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-85004097651074918512007-09-03T17:46:00.000-07:002007-09-03T17:46:00.000-07:00as always, another nicely done interview :) Thanks...as always, another nicely done interview :) Thanks for sharing Thomas and for keeping us informed of the awesome ultra stars Scott!Adelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256451142660464796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-21201262643760167472007-09-03T16:33:00.000-07:002007-09-03T16:33:00.000-07:00Scott,I have really enjoyed the interviews since f...Scott,<BR/><BR/>I have really enjoyed the interviews since finding your site. If I ever even get within 10% of Thomas' 10K I would be ecstatic. Sure would be motivating to run regularly with that type of scenery as the backdrop...<BR/><BR/>MichaelMichael Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04249697217578212329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-85927254005809420242007-09-03T07:15:00.000-07:002007-09-03T07:15:00.000-07:00Norman,good questions.

I ran in Trail shoes at TRT but mostly have a hard time finding trail shoes that are not to hard (I weigh only around 132 so I don't put to much weight on the shoe). Most of the time I run in regular running shoes (road), but always trainers. I have not worn race flats in a long time. <BR/><BR/>ThomasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-36033330028962132382007-09-02T20:27:00.000-07:002007-09-02T20:27:00.000-07:00Thomas - do you run in trail shoes on the trails, ...Thomas - do you run in trail shoes on the trails, or just stick with your running shoes? Also curious if you race in flats. I know a lot of road racers who seem to be able to run in flats, but I can't.<BR/><BR/><BR/>NormanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-28071346640849812802007-09-02T08:34:00.000-07:002007-09-02T08:34:00.000-07:00Great interview!

I had the pleasure of running with Thomas and finally getting to meet him along "the Taste of Hell" at TRT. Definitely made it a good experience. Keep it up Thomas!

Definitely with the potential to be a top States contender once he makes that inevitable, "logical" transition. Good luck with shooting to make the national 100k team!Mark Tanaka (Ultrailnakaman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13506740152878287937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-88448987925532027822007-09-01T19:56:00.000-07:002007-09-01T19:56:00.000-07:00Will,thanks for the kudos about me and my company'...Will,<BR/>thanks for the kudos about me and my company's work. <BR/><BR/>Jen,<BR/>I run a lot on the Irish Hills trail or Madonna Mountain.
