Coming soon to a race near you...

Iceman Take 2

So who else tried to register for Iceman tonight?

After much complaining about the 2008 lottery entry system the organizers of Iceman opted for the radio station concert ticket give away. Looks like someone had to be the first caller.

We are now postponing registration for the 2009 Iceman Cometh Challenge until Monday March 2, 2009 at 7:00 PM (EST). That will give us a chance to reconstruct the system after the malicious attack by somebody who created a program to automatically register himself that contacted SBO 100,000 times in one minute at approximately 6:30 PM tonight.

SBO will also be working to insure that this kind of attack does not impact their system again in the future.

I am very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you and I know that many of you planned your day around registering for Iceman this evening. I just hope that you can have a great weekend and that we'll see you back here on Monday night.
Sincerely,
Steve Brown

100k times...I know this is a great race...but 100k times? Let's see how it goes Monday.

YEAH!!

With the recent "warm" weather plus more to come today and tomorrow the roads are clear of snow. It is time to get out spin classes and venture outside and put some rubber ont the road. Watch out here I come.

Training Week One

Well this was supposed to be the start of my Cohutta 100 training but instead it is the start of a second week with the strongest longest lasting head & chest cold of my life. Just when I think I have it beat down this thing holds on tight to my sinuses and lungs and will not give in.

Pop Up Tents 2.0

Does any one think this is over the top? After having to sleep in the car after the 12 Hours of Mohican this year this would have come in sooo handy.


This is the Sylvan Sport new GO Trailer and Camper MSRP: $8995.

The manufacture describes it more versatile then a Swiss Army knife. The entire thing weighs just 800 lbs (363 kg). Which after a quick check of the owners manual to the family truckster is well with-in it's tow capacity. The tent sets up in minutes and stows cleanly into the roof's storage box. The roof's frame is designed to connect to Yakima and Thule rack systems. It is also equipped with a weather-tight gear box that locks to keep camping equipment, extra gear and all other weekend essentials secure and ready for whenever you want to go.
