Relay option that you can run with a buddy or 3 other buddies in the 2 or 4-person relay. You can still take advantage of getting some good trail miles in prep for the racing season!! This year the race is a benefit for cross country teams in the Olympia area. Some CC runners will be at the aid stations to help out.

Hello everyone,
We had weather! We had 75 starters, 68 finishers in the 50 km,
and 21 in the 50 mile. Eight runners finished the KY Series by
completing the Love'n The Hills 50 km (Louisville 2-18), Land
Between The Lakes 60 km (Grand Rivers 3-11), and KUTS 80 km.
There names are marked with "***"
The story involves Nikki Seger being the only runner to have run
in all ten KUTS. My new pup (Sojourn) was a hit. The weather went
from drizzle to snow to rain to windy to sun to ... The mud got good
reviews from most everyone. Many runners did extra miles, at no
extra fee ;-) And the buffet Friday was the best yet. Most everyone
climbed the 240 steps to Tater Knob.
Best to all,
Herb

Comrades 2006
http://www.comrades.com/default.asp
FROM FIRST TO LAST, THE HEROES OF THE COMRADES WERE THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES
When it comes to unselfish acts, there are many stories that involve Comrades runners. But few tug at the heart strings like Hennie Loots and Henk Meyer.
This year Loots helped Meyer through to his seventh Comrades finish in 10:31. What makes it so special is that Meyer is so badly mentally retarded that he doesn't now his age, cannot read or spell and has no idea of the distance that he runs every year. He only has 40% use of his left arm and although 34 years of age, has the mental capacity of a four year old. Loots' job during Comrades is to ensure that he finishes, hydrates correctly and does not get lost.
"Henk is my sister's son and he got malaria when he was four which affected half of his brain", the 48-year-old Loots explains. "But we've noticed that with the running, he is starting to improve." Loots, who often travels through from Roodeport to pick up Meyer in Hartebeespoort, does train with Meyer and also assists him in other races. "I've been doing it for 10 years now and it's worth the effort," Loots says. "It's rewarding to see the positive effect it has on him."
Comrades 2003 was a tough one for Meyer, who finished his seventh Comrades and Loots his eleventh. "With 10km to go he started to cry and said that he couldn't continue," Loots said, "but there's an inner strength in him that's unexplainable and he kept going"

Ultra Survival Feat - 1972
The Ultra Digest has had a thread in the last few days about Ultra stories that inspire. One of those stories was about Parrado and Cannessa who hiked for 70miles through the Andes to get help after their plane, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed.
Here is a link with more information about the story and an excerpt:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andes_Flight_Disaster_(1972)
On December 13, 1972, 62 days after the crash, three of the fittest men (given the generally poor physical conditions of the group), Fernando Parrado, Roberto Canessa, and Antonio Vizintín, decided that the only option was to try to climb out of the mountains to find help. They reckoned that Chile must lie to the west, based on where the sun set and the direction they were headed at the time of the crash.
On the third day of the trek, Parrado and Canessa sent Vizintín back to the crash site as they were rapidly running out of rations. It only took him about three hours to return, after the three-day climb in the other direction.
Ten days after leaving the crash site, Parrado and Canessa reached the other side of the Andes in Los Maitenes, Chile, where they encountered a rancher by the name of Sergio Catalán, who gave them some bread and summoned the authorities.
The following day, those remaining at the crash site heard on their radio that Parrado and Canessa had been successful in finding help. They tidied themselves up as best they could, covered the remains of the corpses that were no longer intact, and awaited their rescuers.
That night, December 22, 1972, a helicopter carrying Canessa and two search and rescue climbers arrived, took on half the survivors, and departed, leaving the climbers and remaining survivors at the crash site until the second helicopter could arrive. This was delayed until the following morning due to a blizzard over the peaks that night, leaving those left behind to once again sleep in the husk of the fuselage.
The second helicopter arrived at daybreak on December 23, and with that, all sixteen survivors were rescued after 72 days.
All the survivors were taken to hospitals in Santiago and treated for dehydration, frostbite, broken bones, scurvy, malnutrition and psychiatric counseling.
Because of the taboo of cannibalism, they explained initially that they had eaten some cheese they carried with them.
