Silverman Rollcall Can't Post

Right. Being lazy, I just signed up and donated my compulsory $30 to active.com.

Anyhow, who else is headed down to Vegas in a few weeks?

Hey! Everyone's read your RR, glad you're headed back. I'm heading there, along with the g/f.

I'll be there. Actually, your reading your RR last year is what inspired me to register. I run ultras and don't like the big crowds at mainstream events so this is the perfect fit for my 140.6 debut. Been hitting the hills like crazy to prepare. Taking Monday off too to make it a 4-day Veteran's Day Weekend and stopping through Joshua Tree for a night on the way back to SD

I'm in for the half, and like everyone else, I was inspired to do it by your rr. Looking forward to it!

I've already registered (for the half) and have a plane ticket, but I just might sit, drink and gamble all day and watch the race instead.

I'll be there trying to finish the half. Your RR with all the incredible pictures is what inspired me to do this race. I figure as long as I'm suffering out there, I might as well be doing so with a beautiful view.

I did the full last year, it was a great race, and wanted to get back. I dont have the time this year to train for a full, but have registered for the half.

I have been signed up to do the full for what seems like FOREVER! Can't wait for it to get here already. Heard and read some many positives about the race and of course it doesn't hurt that they play Black Jack out there in Las Vegas!

I'm in Vancouver next week for work. Where can I get some training in?

I won't have a bike with me, but looking to swim and run, perhaps rent a bike??

Here is the schedule for the 50 m pool in downtown. If you are out in other places let me know.

or try Speedtheory 604.714.0171

I have been doing rides up Cypress Mountain for Silverman prep. UBC area is good for some hills and some nice scenery and close by too.

Stanley Park is the first obvious choice for runs, and there are group runs out of the running room's at 6ish on Wednesday night. Broadway Running room has a good group of guys who are a lot faster than me and are great to run with.

Be prepared for some chillier weather than you are used to. It has gotten colder over the last couple of week and there might be rain next week....

Have fun. Message me if you need more info. Greg
