Next planned update on Monday, April 18
I'm going to the St Louis A-meet and don't plan to update this page until Monday (there's always a slim chance I might update it before then).
The St Louis event should be fun. They've planned an interesting format. Saturday begins with a middle distance race then we go to Forest Park for a park-O' relay. Sunday is a regular classic distance race.
The Next Possum Trot
It looks like next year's Possum Trot (a long distance mass start event in December) will be at Bluff Woods. PTOC has a mapper who's been fieldchecking the area. It'll be difficult work because the base map is not very good.
Look for lots of big hills and lots of nice open forest (though there is some thick stuff, too). I shot a short video of Mikell Platt running through some of the nice forest a few weeks ago. We'd gone to the park to jog and to pick up some controls from PTOC's 9-hour night rogaine. You can go here to see the video. From there, click on the link for the 687.7K quicktime movie.
