"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
- Hunter S. Thompson
My friend Will sent that to me cause it reminded him of me. Very cool. My ego needed that.
However, as I approach a big milestone, I got this on the forum today from Scott, founder and Mastermind of several races:
"Back in 2005 when planning for the first race was underway, the original vision was for it to be held on the Kansas River. A much shorter race, but equally as grueling of an adventure because of the challenges of a sandy, braided river. The race was reconsidered for the Missouri because of some portages and other logistical issues. It all turned out well and we've had wonderful success with the MR340. But this year that door is closed, locked and under water. So, we've dusted off the notes from 2005 on how to put on an ultra marathon on the Kansas or "Kaw" River. That's where the race will be held this year, scheduled for the exact same time frame as the MR340, July 19th-22nd."
That's right folks: MR340 is done for 2011.
There will still be a race, but it will be on the Kaw (Kansas) River in Kansas.
Different water, different conditions, so the Veloci-Dillo will not do.
Shit.
Screw it, get the intertube out and float it! Just saying!
