it's death race dammit!!!!

!!!!this is the weekend that I live for, think about almost every day of every year...screw the great white north tri, the tour de alberta, whatever...this is it baby...a weekend, like every day should be...running, racing, hiking, friends, new friends old friends, new stories, older stories embellished stories.....and nothin' but fun and good times for 3 days more or less.
the past has always been amazing..the missed connections at the change off points for the relay teams, watching those that are going solo finishing, or sleeping in and missing them finish...people getting lost, losing thier coin or timing chip, and then finding them...finding ways to slide down those mountains, to march back up them again, how much fun it is to run through ankle deep mud puddles, falling in them, finding rivers knee deep or deeper, seeing how many people you can fit into a hotel room at once, the joys of showering with your clothes and muddy shoes on......jjst hanging out, mtn biking, hiking, exploring all the sites around GC, hiking old spots (sulphur gates), finding new hidden ones (muskeg falls!).....and emptying the town of food booze and clean water (how many can fit into that hot tub anyway)......can hardy wait!!
