Maceration

A BAD case of maceration
This weekend is the running of the Western States Endurance Run, a 100-mile race from Squaw Valley to Auburn, over the California Sierras. While around 375 will start the race, the finisher’s numbers will probably fall between 200 and 250. The main reasons for not finishing will include being under trained, stomach issues, simply missing cutoffs, and injuries. Injuries are big. There will be sprained ankles, cuts and scrapes from falls, possible wrist injuries from falls, tons of blisters, and this year - a lot of problems from maceration. With higher than normal snow levels, and this week’s hot temperatures, runners will be in the snow more than normal. Plus runoff from the snow will affect trails and stream crossings. These wet conditions will affect many of the runners - leading to maceration. To read the rest of the article, click here for John's Website!!

I have updated the photo page with the links to the 2013 Florida photos. I apologize for the viruses I was getting (4 of them since last August) but found out the photo program I was using was allowing this. So that is gone, I am uploaded photos to a gmail account, I will make a new account for each race, that way I won't run out of room after awhile. The 2013 Florida pictures are uploaded and you can view them, I will upload the 2012 photos soon and post the link on the photo page a well.

I have two different links here for results. The first one shows live results as the athletes pass over the timing chips, this shows their current position, their last lap and how long each took. The other result shows their total times for past portions (total swim, transition time, total bike, transition, etc) depending on how far into the race we are. This list will be updated every few hours.

We are accumulating the picutres that my photographer took and some of the other support crews and staff and will have those loaded sometime next week.

Fuel Up, Get Ahead

By Anahad O'Connor/The New York Times/3July2011

The idea - advocated in popular fitness books over the past decade - is that exercising on an empty stomach forces the body to dip into fat stores for fuel instead of the carbohydrates quickly available from a pre-workout meal or snack. While it seems to make sense, research shows that exercising this way doesn't offer any benefit and may even work against you.
