Just bid farewell to the Hubs at the start line of this 200 mile race he's participating in this weekend. He and eleven buddies are running from Fort Collins to Steamboat Springs, up over the Continental Divide, as part of a relay whose motto is "Get Your Ass Over The Pass" :) Yes, I do think they are all crazy, but at the starting line this morning there was nothing but hype and laughter and adrenaline. They each run three segments over the next 36 or so hours, ranging from 4 mile to 9 mile stints, and the race goes through the night nonstop. The race is planned every year over a full-moon weekend to make running at night easier. I'm so proud of them all! What an amazing accomplishment when they finish tomorrow night.
You can go HERE to see the race route. Some parts are straight uphill!

Here is team Dirty Dozen:
The four EPR docs: Mike, Ian, Jason & Ken.
The whole Poudre Valley Health Systems team including docs, a PA, a nurse and an ER tech.
One of the two vans they'll travel, sleep, and eat in - can't say I would want to be in there as the guys finish their segments :)
Good Luck, guys!!
