Blue Train At Barkley
Eva Pastalkova, Keith Knipling, and Mike Bur traveled to Frozen Head State Park in eastern Tennessee to attempt the Barkley Marathons. This was Eva's and Keith's first trip on the Barkley course. Eva finished the first 20+ mile loop in a swift 9:10 only to discover that she was missing a mandatory page from a book checkpoint. Despite backtracking on the course in a valiant attempt to find it, it was lost and she was finished. Keith made it to 1.5 loops before calling it a night in fog and rain. Bur finished his first loop only to miss the time cutoff for two loops. Nick Hollon and Travis Wildeboer became the 13th and 14th finishers of the Barkley when they came in under the 60 hour cutoff on Monday night in 57:39 and 58:41 respectively.

Brad Hinton ran down the early pacesetting Sean Andrish during the infamous Sherman Gap section and went on to win in a course record time of 5:16:53, with Sean second and Mario Raymond also in under 6 hours for third place. The women's race was very exciting - or would have been had any of the top three women known how close they were to each other. Michele Harmon won in 7:41, with Priya Naik taking second less than a minute later, and Betsy Nickle finishing third in 7:43. Thanks to all the runners for coming out, and to the volunteers for making the race a great success this year. Results and Photos

New Bridge!
Thanks to the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, there is a new and very stable bridge on the Bull Run Trail at Ordway Road. The new bridge was completed on schedule by the NVRPA. For extra credit, the NVRPA graded the path under the road. You may remember it was very rocky. It is now very smooth, though we are not sure how the new surface will do when the next storm floods the river. For bigger pictures, take the Read more link.

The Bluebells are Coming

Quotes of the Day
|
Mitch Hedberg
'I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down.'
|
John Cage
'If you think something is boring, try doing it for two minutes. If you still think it's boring, try it for four. If you still think it's boring, try it for eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and so on and so forth. Soon enough you'll find that it's really not boring at all.'
|
James Thurber
'I loathe the expression 'What makes him tick.' It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.'
|
Paul Fix
'The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.'
|
John Ruskin
'When a man is wrapped up in himself, he makes a pretty small package.'
|
Peter Ustinov
'It is our responsibilities, not ourselves, that we should take seriously.'
|
Honore de Balzac
'Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.'
|
Jean-Paul Sartre
'We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.'
|
Albert Einstein
'To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.'
|
Fran Lebowitz
'Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.'
|
Thomas H. Huxley
'Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense, differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.'
|
Walt Disney
'It's kind of fun to do the impossible.'
