“Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, ‘Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapeƱos." - "Red" Spicer (Ultra Runner & Texan)

DMITRY....Killing it at Crosstimbers 50 miler!
As you know I was not able to catch up to Dmitry at Crosstimbers this past weekend. But with that said, I got my hands on some pics with his famous hat. Seriously, my friend Rick, from California, recognized Dmitry at Rocky Raccoon Ultra Marathon in Huntsville Texas because he saw the hat that was also pictured on my blog. Small world...seriously the Ultra World is a small world. As of now I plan on crewing/pacing Dmitry at the Cactus Rose 100 Miler in October. Also good pics of typical Crosstimber trail run. In the picture below you will also see Sonia Burdett descending. She does NOT KNOW THE WORD QUIT!...sometimes she may be DAL...but never quits.

OK, that is NOT a run it's a hike. Holy crap. I'm scared. I still really want to try it. I will work on ankle strength first and then maybe my hiking legs...maybe by next winter I can try a trail run;)
Small world. I met Dmitry at Rocky Raccoon - he was pacing my buddy Wayne and had that funky hat on.
OMG that looks scary! Wow! I'd be certain to bust my a$$ HAHA
Ok that's some impressive hilly technical sections. No wonder Mark is still recovering. Ask Dmitry if that hat is hot. I would think it would be.
