No Brains, No Headaches!

!guanaTrdz—the Go-to Paleo Treat!

Hello, another New Year! Yes, a whole stack of wishful thinking nuggets are all ready to be flung outwards into the Universe, which is indifferent to your plight.

Bunches of you out there in UltraLandia are wondering "How the fuck am I ever going to be faster/better/more awesomesaucely than I am already?"

Good question, get out your credit card. But first, a word from one of our sponsors.
!guanaTrdz Energy Bars. New energy bars consisting entirely of lizard-made, holistically harvested, sustainable, from contented Fijian iguanas in their natural free-range habitat. Each bar contains 10g of protein and 50g of fiber. Recommended by experts world-wide in the treatment of Irritable Vowel Syndrome. PETA-approved. Proud sponsor of the URFKT100, and other fine events. No animals were harmed or their 401ks looted in the making of this product. Have a nice day!
Is this mike on? Seriously—you're just not going to get faster.

I can see a lot of Sad-Bear Faces out there on this news. Its not what you paid big dollah for at this weekend de-motivational seminar held a at the Hellmouth Hilton, when you could be out on the trail somewhere, taking Instagram pix of yourself getting molested by surly bighorns.

Let me funnel you into my weekend looter-workshop seminar, the "SKT Ribbon-Chasers" which is a DJ set of mix-taped, hi-priced running, New Age bullshit, and Tantric Boning all in one convenient package.
  • Where else are you going get first-hand information on just how much money you're going to drop on all the right wardrobe before you even set foot out in the dirt? 
  • Where else are all your insecurities are going to be ruthlessly exploited? 
  • Where else are you going to realize that your gadgets are hopelessly passé?
  • Who else is going to provide you with the necessary Spirit Animals, Vague Native American aphorisms and Facebook-ready profile images so you may Initiate This Quest?
"SKT Ribbon-Chasers" are experts in slowing you down so you can Be At One With The Trail, and Getting You Lost in the experience.

Of course D&L Holistic Industries, along with Offshore Vacuum Party Ltd Gmbh specify that SKTRC would only provide the "creative matrix" for aforementioned "Tantric Networking", in a home-sourced, nose-to-tail presentation. You know you want it. Dig deep and bring it on!

AC100: 2023 Is A Matter Of Course

Image
The 2023 Notional AC100. The venerable Angeles Crest stumbled into 2023 with a finally redone website.  Congrats! Most of the photos are bright and shiny, and non-synchronous to actual locations. However, it's a considerable improvement. No idea if the signup is as buggy and weird as it was when the Next Day Lotto was unleashed several years ago. Everyone Has A Plan… RACE CANCELLED FOR 2023: SKIP TO THE END The Race has been able to rejoin its point-to-point origins, with continued mods by fire and bio-edict. RIP incinerated Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog [MYLF]. 2022's out-&-back is now an asterisk in the rear-view mirror. The new course map and descriptions are confusing. It was deja vu to 1990 for me all over again, only in color.  Map shows a Chantry pass-thru, while text indicates an out-n-back from Red Box to Newcombs, then up the Kenyon Devore over Mt Wilson. Thence over the top down to Idle Hour, to its eventual conclusion at Loma Alta in Altadena CA. Any Kenyon Devor

I Didn't Conquer Kilimanjaro

Image
THE SUMMIT I didn't conquer Kilimanjaro. I paid attention, cooperated with the mountain in optimal conditions. Made the summit on Mar 10 2024; and more importantly, made it back down safely on my own steam. This was a pilgrimage for my late wife Leslie Sowle, who'd done it in Dec 2003. When I reunited with her in Jan 2022, I repeated my admiration for her accomplishment. She looked at me and said "its just a long walk. You could do it" Leslie in red parka. Kilimanjaro, 2003. Photographer unknown. At the time I demurred, because Kili was irrelevant in the face of her oncoming death. I began thinking about it in September 2023. If not now, then when?  I started training with her very good 2003 Arcteryx RT25 pack at home in Ventura County, CA. I made no mention of it on the socials. Bad juju. I'd booked the longest trip possible [11 days Northern Lemosho Route] with Simon Mtuy's Summit Expeditions to get as much altitude conditioning possible. A shorter trip [5-
