Bold Runner: 2014 Tahoe 200 Endurance Run Race Report
http://robvfrench.blogspot.com/2014/10/i-sat-at-rideout-aid-station-at-mile.html
Friday, October 3, 2014. 2014 Tahoe 200 Endurance Run Race Report. Kane and I could have spent hours shooting the breeze with Willie and Yassine but it was time to shuffle down the trail one last time on my journey back to Homewood. The dude decided one day to ski around Lake Tahoe and on the third try it only took him 60 hours! Martis Peak was quite amazing. The Donner Party Mountain Runners had it together! I was pampered to the nth degree. Food was amazing, small heaters in the tent, a volunteer w...

Bold Runner: July 2011
http://robvfrench.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Fueling and Minimal from 1948. While I was running with the Iron Mtn crowd on July 4th, my wife bought me a nice little book called "Walking With Spring" by Earl Shaffer. Earl was the first known person to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail in 1948. (124 days- unaided) It was a great read. enjoyed the descriptions of the parts of the trail I have hiked (and run) and imagining the sections I have yet to hike. A couple of things jumped out at me as I read his account from 63 years ago:.

Bold Runner: November 2011
http://robvfrench.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 9, 2011. 2011 Mountain Masochist Race Report. Some of my goals were a stretch but I felt I was capable of getting down around 9 hours. I had a super stressful day on Friday, Masochist Eve. unexpected water in my basement from heavy overnight rains, family scheduling problems, last minute critical tasks, but 4 hours after my planned departure I was on the way to Lynchburg (w/ wife Sara and 13 yr old son Patrick). My buddy Rick Gray was not far behind a little over his 10 hour goal.

Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Below is a Waldo 100k race report from the amazing 75 year old Peter Fish. August 20, 2011. Peter Fish, 75. I finished Waldo in overtime (18:39) in 2004, in my second attempt, and three tries since then have not taken me past the last cutoff at Twins2. I decided that this year would be my last attempt, finish or no, but that I would make a finish at Waldo my main priority for the year. 1 SOB 76.2 8415 13, 31. 2 7/11-17 40.4 (40) 2300 (3000) –. 7 Waldo 84 (62) 11,000 62.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011. As the certificate that I received a week or so ago says: "Having exhibited the courage to try, the will to persevere, and the heart to endure, Rob French has successfully completed the Umstead 100 Mile Endurance Run and is hereby granted entry into the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Hundred Milers". I discussed a little race strategy with Rick. do I wear a headlamp the first loop? At mile 34 or so (3rd loop) with Michael not far behind. Again, I really had no specific plan for ...
