Made in New York
Exciting news. We've just incorporated Made Media in the US, and this week we're back from New York having just kicked off two projects in the big apple.
Lincoln Center
We're developing a new ticketing Website for the Lincoln Center, home to Avery Fisher Hall, Alice Tully Hall and the Metropolitan Opera House amongst others.
New York University is busy launching a new Arts Center and Art Gallery on their Abu Dhabi campus. Made is developing visual identities and two dual-language websites.
Enter Allison Fippinger
To help us deliver these projects we're welcoming Allison Fippinger to the team as Senior Consultant. A certified Project Management Professional with 15+ years arts experience, she is particularly experienced in ticketing integration projects and application developments. She started her career as a fundraiser in New York City (Carnegie Hall, New York Philharmonic) before providing technology consulting for organisations across North America. As well as managing our new projects stateside, Allison will look after Made's existing US clients including AT&T Performing Arts Center, Orchestra Iowa and Signature Theatre.
We're stoked, and we're open for business across the US.
Stay tuned for more announcements.

Hey Guys,
I'm looking to recreate something similar to Stone's Sublimely Self Righteous (XI Anniversary Ale). This is an unbelievable Black IPA. I have found some recipes online for an AG recipe. However, I don't know where to begin to come up with something for an extract.
Obviously I don't expect an exact clone, I am just looking for something similar.
Yeah, I noticed that AHS has a kit too. I might just start with that and add some additional hops. However, I am also curious about how I would come up with this without needing a kit.
I guess part of my wants from this thread is to get a little bit more insight into how people would come up with a recipe. I'm still just a noob.
Carafa Special III is the grain you want to use typically. Not much, maybe .5-0.75 lbs in a 5 gallon batch should be enough to get plenty of color in there.
Poking around online, I see Brewmaster's Warehouse has it listed under Roasted Malts as "Weyermann De-Husked Carafa III".
Thanks. Do you think that will add enough of the black ale flavor? Or are you suggesting this grain solely due to the fact that it will darken the colors?
Nevermind the last post. I looked it up online too and Carafa Special III was recommended by Stone directly.
+1 on Stone's Sublimely Self Righteous! I just bought the AHS Black IPA kit an I'm really hoping it tastes pretty close to Sublimely. If anyone has brewed this kit and tasted the Stone version, can you let us know how close they are?
LarryC, man I envy your location right about now. I was just out in San Diego and got myself some Pliny, Sublimely Self Righteous, and Bourbon County Stout. All great beers that are unavailable to me.
Here's my recipe... I just bottled this yesterday and the hydrometer sample was fantastic... I can't wait to drink it! Use a blowoff tube or a large primary.
7.5 lbs light DME (3 lbs. at start of boil, 4.5 at end)
12oz. victory
12oz. crystal 60L
6oz carafa II
6oz chocolate
2oz centennial 60
1oz centennial 30
1oz centennial 20
1.5oz cascade 15
1oz cascade flameout
1oz willamette flameout
1oz cascade dry
1oz willamette dry
Pitched 2 vials WL001 California Ale
Est. FG: 1.017
Color: 27 SRM
(SRM and IBU calculations by recipator)
The Northern Brewer recipe uses 9.5 lbs of dark LME plus some dark specialty grains. This stuff is black!

Police: Nine Dogs Found Dead Inside Doctor's SUV
Mount Pleasant, S.C. (CBS CHARLOTTE) – A Charleston gastroenterology doctor has been charged with several counts of ill treatment to animals after police say he left nine dogs in his vehicle for several hours as he performed his duties at East Cooper Hospital as all of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels died in the 91-degree heat index.
Charles A. Bickerstaff, 64, is facing nine counts of ill treatment of animals after Mount Pleasant Police say he left the nine dogs in six carriers in his SUV as he worked at the hospital, WCBD-TV reports. An Aug. 12 affidavit alleges that Bickerstaff went to the Mount Pleasant Emergency Vet with several dead animals that had been in the back of his vehicle.
The emergency vet clinic staff said the dogs died as a result of ill treatment and directed Bickerstaff to a local crematory before calling police. Detectives used employment records at ECMC to identify Bickerstaff as the man responsible for the animals' deaths.
The affidavit says that temperatures ranged from 73 to 82 degrees during the three hours the animals were in the vehicle, while the heat index was 90.9 degrees.
Bickerstaff told police that he placed his dog, Butler, and eight other dogs in crates in the back of his vehicle, according to the affidavit. There was no food or water present in the vehicle.
Bickerstaff is expected to have a bond hearing on Wednesday morning.

Concrete Roof Tiles, Slate Roof Tiles, Clay Tiles, Solar PV Tiles
Redland is a brand of the worldwide Braas Monier Building Group. Redland's range of roofing tiles includes concrete roof tiles, slate roofing products and clay tiles. Coupled with renewable energy systems, and accessories, Redland provides solutions for most roofing specifications.
Roofing Know How
Redland's unrivalled range of roofing tiles, including roof slates and concrete and clay tiles, combined with market-leading technical support services, enable it to deliver total pitched roofing solutions you can rely on. With operations in 36 countries and over 100 production sites, Braas Monier is the leading worldwide supplier of pitched roofing products. Redland draws on the expertise and experience gathered from over 90 years as an industry leader.
It is Redland's goal to deliver high-quality roofing solutions that perfectly meet the customers' expectations.
Train To Gain
The roofing industry today is a very different place to ten years ago. Recently the British Standard Code of Practice for roof slating and tiling went through a major overhaul which threatens to leave many roofers behind the times. If a roofer fails to comply with the new Code of Practice during a project, it could result in the roof being stripped and re-tiled.
YouTube Training and Advice
With a view to providing a comprehensive range of training support, Redland offers a YouTube Channel with bite-sized training videos on the installation of its most popular products.
A New Tradition
Building a modern house with a traditional exterior is no easy feat, but that didn't stop housing developer Kirkby Homes from taking on the task in the historic town of Haslemere.
On The Tiles Twitter Competition
Redland has launched its first ever Tweet-to-Win competition as a way of rewarding contractors and roofers for all their hard work making the tiles look great on roofs.
Andy Dennis has been appointed Country Manager for Monier Redland UK. Andy has been with Redland for twelve years, most recently as Sales Director. This track record gives him an unrivalled understanding of the company and its position within the market. Read More

Agatha Raisin and the Busy Body - Agatha Raisin 62 (Paperback)
by M. C. Beaton
|Paperback 304 pages
In stock
Usually despatched within 24 hours
You save: £1.00
Agatha Raisin has never been one for enforced holiday cheer, but her friendly little village of Carsely has always prided itself on its traditional Christmas festivities. But this year the bells will not be ringing out Silent Night as Mr John Sunday, an officer with the Cotswold Health and Safety Board, has chosen Christmas as the time to crack down what he sees as gross misconduct by every man, woman, and child in the vicinity. The village shop is told it can no longer have wooden shelves which have been there since the time of Queen Victoria 'in case someone is inflicted with a splinter.' The village school is ordered to leave lights on at night 'to prevent unauthorized intruders from tripping in the dark.' And children are warned to not play with "counterfeit banknotes" after passing around toy money in the playground. But finally Mr Sunday goes too far when he rules that there cannot be a Christmas tree atop the church tower this year. Soon after the decree and just before Christmas, Agatha is sipping a cup of tea and trying to stay awake as minute by minute of the Carsely Ladies Society meeting at the vicarage drones on when a sudden scream wakes her from her stupor. The ladies rush out of the building and into the garden to find Sunday lying face down in the petunias, very much dead. Agatha is instantly on the case, but with so many people having threatened the life of the victim, it's almost impossible to know where to start! Praise for the Agatha Raisin series: 'M C Beaton has created a national treasure...Agatha Raisin is the strongest link' Anne Robinson 'M C Beaton's imperfect heroine is an absolute gem' Publishers Weekly 'Clever red herrings and some wicked unfinished business guarantees that the listener will pant for a sequel' The Times audiobook review 'The Miss Marple-like Agatha is a refreshingly sensible, wonderfully eccentric, thoroughly likeable heroine' Booklist

About the author
M C Beaton
This is M.C. Beaton's 21st Agatha Raisin mystery to date. She has written 25 Hamish Macbeth tales, which Constable & Robinson are currently reissuing, as well as a quartet of Edwardian murder mysteries, which are also published by Constable. She divides her time between Paris, Istanbul and a village in the Cotswolds which is very much like Agatha's beloved Carsely.

We've all viewed the wild street driving videos that come from Russia while wondering when we would see a wreck. These pics and videos from a BMW M Club drive in Russia show that you can't beat luck forever when driving recklessly.

For the past week, the BMW Performance Center offered a BMW Performance Driving School event at the legendary Lime Rock Park, featuring the all new F10 M5, the E92 M3 coupe and the 1M coupe.
An M5POST member was in attendance and shares with us his experience, photos and a video.
Here's a fun matchup. Watch as the BMW F10 M5 drags against the Tesla Model S to 100MPH. Here are their specs on paper:
Tesla Model S – 443 lb-ft torque @ 0-5100rpm, RWD, 0-60mph 4.4s (factory quoted), 4,647 lbs
F10 M5 – 502 lb-ft torque @ 1500-6560rpm, RWD, 0-62mph 4.4s (factory quoted), 4,288 lbs
The race is a close one and many variables shift the advantage to the Tesla S in such a race. For one, the race is only to 100MPH. Although … CONTINUED

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman pits the 2013 BMW M5 against the 2013 Porsche Panamera GTS in an epic super sedan showdown. The battle begins in California's Mojave desert with a classic quarter-mile drag race. Then Jonny takes both V-8 powered sports saloons up to Big Bear, California to find out which one carves up the winding mountain roads the best.
Velos Designwerks video announcing their F10 M5 and F12/F13 M6 Stage 1 Performance Software Tune (for the S63Tu engine). Initial power gain estimates for the Stage 1 tune is roughly 73 hp and 80 lb ft of torque.
The 2013 F10 M5 with its 4.4L V8 S63Tu turbo engine has previously been shown to be underrated from the factory, which is BMW's habit with its official quote power figures.
The latest results showing this come from iND who have just begun performance testing on their F10 M5. The result was 527 RWHP (rear wheel horsepower) on a totally stock F10 M5 running on pump gas and dyno'd on a dynojet. This represents just a 6% drivetrain loss.

Fix It Sticks: A Smart Tool For Cyclists
If you're a bicyclist, you will, at some point, have to tighten various objects on your bike. It's just a fact of bike ownership. And it can be an enormous pain in the butt. But Fix-It Sticks has a smart solution to this problem that may just make them a must-own.
Leverage, Leverage, Leverage
The main problem with most bike tools is essentially their design. A fold-out tool is a space saver, but anybody who's had to use a folding knife will know that there's only so much force you can apply before something snaps. Y-tools, meanwhile, do offer leverage but are really, really hard to carry around because, well, they're Y-shaped and thus highly awkward. And both sometimes suffer from not having the right bit, which is a problem in of itself.
An Elegant Solution
Fix-It Sticks solve the problem by breaking it in half. It's actually stunningly simple, when you look at it. The tool comes in the form of two straight sticks. You place your bit where it needs to go… and slot the other stick over the other end, right through the hexagonal hole. In other words, you have all the leverage you need, built into the tool, and it's also designed to save space and weight; they weigh just thirty grams and have an included rubber sleeve, so tossing them in your bag or your pocket is painless and simple.
A Variety of Bits
Of course, the fixie rider and the mountain biker have different needs when it comes to tools, so Fix-It Sticks are coming in a wide variety of bit combinations so nobody gets stranded on the side of the road. They're currently being shown off at Interbike in Las Vegas and will be available for $30. Heck, I don't even ride a bike and I might grab a pair; after all, some of us need a flathead screwdriver with us at all times.

Loudon sees smooth NASCAR Sprint Series on Sunday
Had the rain continued, the race would have been postponed.
Speedway officials used their seven jet-engine dryers and other equipment to dry the track in the morning, and the sunshine helped finish the job as race time approached.
There were no problems all weekend at the speedway, said Kristen Costa, the track's director of communications.
Race goers may have noticed a different kind of aircraft flyover than usual Sunday. Prior to this year, the U.S. Air Force sent jets to Loudon for pre-race flyovers, but that tradition ended because of the government's sequestration cuts earlier this year.
Costa said the speedway and the owner of the plane, the Collings Foundation of Stow, Mass., worked together to bring the plane, which was at Manchester Airport last week as part of the foundation's Wings of Freedom tour, to the track.

ARDMORE, OK -- An Ardmore family puts on a Christmas light extravaganza all to raise money for a cause that isclose to their heart.
Sara Humphrey brings us their story.
Amber Marr was diagnosed with type I diabetes at an early age.
"I was diagnosed with diabetes at age nine so it has been almost 25 years," Marr said.
With Christmas being right around the corner the Marr family has found a festive way to raise money for something that, for them and many others hits close to home.
"It's a lot a work it's about 5,000 feet of extension cord, 1600 white 90 of animation. A lot goes into it." Marr said.
For the past 3 years the Marr family has put on the nightly show where they accept donations for Juvenile Diabetes Research.
The Marr family invites anyone looking to get into the Christmas spirit to come enjoy their holiday tradition at 211 Abshire Circle in Ardmore.
The family says 100% of the proceeds go to the Juvenile Diabetes research foundation.

So our navigation at the bottom of our page is working very well, but it doesn't look great and is a little bit hard to use since these numbers are so close together, so let's take a look. I have a live preview of my application on the right-hand side and the CSS on the left. I'm going to scroll all the way down to the end of the CSS, and I'm just going to add a few classes here. So I have a paging section and to that I'm going to add a little bit of padding, just 10 pixels, that just moves everything a little bit to the right. And then I'm going to align the text to the center, so it moves everything to the center.
Then I'm going to take the page navigation, which is just the numbers, and I'm going to add a border at the top and make that border dotted and just leave it at 333. Plus, I'm going to add a little bit of padding just at the top and bottom and not on each side. Then I'm going to do the numbers, so I'll take the paging and then the number class and target the anchor tags in there. And inside the anchor tags I'm going to add a little bit of padding just to either side, that gives us a little bit more breathing room right here.
I'm going to modify the links or the text- decoration to be none, so the inside numbers in between the previous and the next links are not going to have underlines, even though the next link will. And finally, I'm going to add a little bit of style to the current number. So the links that are styled with an extra class of current, that should be the current number, are going to get a little bit of a different style, so I'll style them as inline-blocks, color them white.
I need to make sure that these are together like that, since they're part of the same class. I'm going to modify this item to be an inline block, that way I can control the width and the padding, as well as have a white color. And then I'll give it a background color that's going to be the red that I'm using in other places. That looks pretty good. And I'm going to add a little bit of a border radius.
That makes the current page be a circular dot of that color, which I think looks really nice. And I'm going to add the prefixes for Mozilla and just the regular border-radius prefix. When I give that number that red background, it actually looks like that number is a little bit closer to the number 2. So I'm going to add a little bit of a margin of nothing at the top and bottom and 5 pixels on each side just to give it a little bit more breathing room so that it displays nicely.
And that's pretty much it. I'm going to Save this, and I'll hit the 2 link right here, and if I go to the bottom, you can see that that's showing up pretty well, the previous link works well, and the next link looks really good, everything is center, and that looks really good.

By James R. Copland, Investor's Business Daily
As part of an insider-trading investigation, the FBI raided three prominent hedge fund offices in a multistate November sting operation.
Two of the funds whose offices were searched, Diamondback Capital Management and Level Global Investors, quickly sent investors letters assuring them that the funds themselves were not criminal targets.
As the funds' managers clearly realized, sophisticated investors know that criminal inquiries can exact untold damage on corporations, as customers become wary, employees look for new opportunities, credit dries up, and management is distracted from its core business.
An increasing percentage of American business managers are similarly distracted, since over the last 20 years, regulation by prosecution has emerged as a significant new form of government control over the marketplace. This practice threatens not only private-sector businesses but also individuals' rights and the rule of law.
In 1991, the U.S. Sentencing Commission issued guidelines that, in essence, gave corporations and other organizations "credit" for "cooperating" in criminal investigations. The next year, the government entered into its first "non-prosecution agreement" with Salomon Brothers, which paid a civil penalty to avoid criminal trial.
Modern-day regulation by prosecution dates to 1999, when attorney general Eric Holder — then a deputy attorney general in the Clinton Justice Department — issued a memorandum that formalized federal policy for determining whether a business has cooperated with a criminal investigation.
Federal pressure on corporations picked up after the dot-com stock-market bubble burst, and the 2002 conviction of Arthur Andersen, which precipitated the firm's collapse, signaled to companies that fighting overzealous prosecutors was futile.
Subsequently, nonprosecution and deferred-prosecution agreements (NPAs and DPAs) governing corporate behavior became far more commonplace.
After entering into only 17 such agreements in the first decade after the Salomon investigation, the federal government has entered into 136 NPAs and DPAs since 2002. The list of companies that have recently reached such agreements with the federal government reads like a Who's Who of international business.
Government lawyers have thus come to wield enormous power over business operations. Prosecutors have forced companies to reverse long-standing corporate policies, to sack management and directors, and to install prosecutor-appointed "business monitors" to oversee corporate activities.
The exercise of such prosecutorial power is disturbing. Prosecutors are lawyers ill-equipped to understand the complexities of the businesses they target, and when prosecutors hand-pick management with an eye toward complying with legal norms rather than weighing business risks and rewards, the results can be catastrophic.

I generally blog about running. I need to start hitting the weights. So this is a blog is about weight training. Or rather, how my wife, Annette, got started lifting weights. My wife is frugal to say the least. When I go to the grocery store for a few things it costs me a minimum of $100. I find things at the store I didn't even know I needed. She doesn't let me go to the store often. Annette can by a tremendous amount of food for very little money. She buys healthy stuff and she cooks highly nutritious meals. She is a little fitness and health demon.
About 12 years ago my wife started going to a personal trainer named Lisa. Lisa taught my wife how to lift weights. Annette decided to get her own weight set. She went down to Play it Again Sports. She bought a weight set with a barbell, curl bar and dumbbell bars. She still has them.
This is modestly priced 110 pound iron weight set. She paid $80 for the set. This set is a lot of bang for the buck.
She also bought a brand new weight bench for $50.
She found a set set of dumbbells on clearance for $29.95. These included 3, 5 and 8 pound weights.
Her total investment was:
She has used these weights for 12 years, which works out to $13 per year.
She also took up bike riding. She grabbed an old Magna bike that we had bought for one of our sons . He had out grown the bike many years ago. Because kids grow so quickly we didn't spend a lot of money on kid bikes. The original price was $79 at Target. The 18 speed bike had only two gears that worked. The brakes were terrible. The thing weighed 40 pounds. She didn't mind because she said she liked the heavy bike to get a good workout.
This is a new model Magna. $99 at Target. $99 is a terribly high price for this pile of junk. It has been recalled because the handle bars fall off.
I decided to start riding. I bought a new Giant Boulder SE for $325 and could beat my wife's bike seven ways from Sunday.
This bike has an alloy frame and good components. $325 was a great deal.
I bought Annette a new bike for her birthday. She picked out a Specialized Myka Expert. Bikes are one of those items that for a few more bucks you get a lot better components. For $625 she had a great bike. (BTW - that is huge discount -list was $940) I almost had to force her to allow me to spend that much money on a bike.
She loves this bike and has got a million miles on it. My advice is don't go cheap on a bike. She rides mountain passes and long trails. Having a bike break down 30 miles into the wilderness is no fun! A good bike is a must. We also take our bikes in yearly for a tune-up.
Now, having a streak of tool man Tim Taylor, I turned my attention to the home gym. I bought a complete gym with elliptical trainer, smith rack, leg press machine and olympic weight set.
Here is the smith rack with olympic weights. Everything on this smith rack is ball bearing with forged components. This is very rugged stuff. Again, cheap is not an option. I bought the floor model and got a hefty discount.
Here is the squat rack. Strong legs make you a better runner.
This inclined bench was a good deal.
The leg press machine is safe and easy to use.
Dumbbells - lots of dumbbells.
The cost for all the equipment we have now was about $4,000, including $1,000 for a Kettler elliptical trainer.
After 1o years and 1,000s of hours this machine is still smooth as silk and works perfectly. When it is cold and snowy we can still get a good cardio workout.
Along the lines of "more power" I recently bought a specialized Stumpjumper Comp for $1,600.
This bike has hydraulic disk brakes and fork lockout. I needed a great bike like this one to keep up with Annette.
I guess if there is a point to this blog is that you can spend whatever you want for fitness equipment. You want to get good value for your money. Annette loves her Myka bicycle, she uses the Kettler elliptical for cross-training and she digs the home gym. I read that the world-wide market for fitness equipment is $12 billion. I think I spent most of that myself!
Thanks for reading my blog.
I did a training run on North Table Mountain. This mountain is an extinct volcano that was active when dinosaurs ruled the earth, or as my wife says, when I was a junior in high school!
I like to run in new and interesting places. I like to tackle trails where angels fear to tread. However, I found a trail that was so mean and nasty, I will may not go back.
It hurt going up and it hurt going down. It just plain hurt. I ran 5.1 miles at an average pace of 10.43 min/mile. Here are some photos. Is this a place where you would like to run?
When you see this sign, stay in your car and keep driving.
It is always nice to know where you are and where you are going. I actually knew neither.
I really don't think any self-respecting mountain lion would be caught dead in this place!
This is a very serious sign. The Sahara Desert looks like a tropical rain forest compared to North Table Mountain. Colorado has three seasons: snow season, mud season and fire season! One spark and this place goes up like a tinder box!
I thought this sign was hilarious! It looked to me that a guy had fallen off his bike and he was trying to catch it!
Let me translate this for you - this sign actually says, "Abandon all hope ye who enter here "
Here is the start of the trail. This is only about a 10% grade. In Colorado we have a name for such a trail - we call it "flat".
I think this is an interesting shot. The bridge is flat. This photo shows the rate of ascent. Not too bad of a grade. I am still running strongly enjoying the warm sunshine at this point.
The trail is pitching up here. Still no problemo. It was disconcerting that it looked like I was running toward a cliff.
Here it is - the killer hill. This bad boy is a 30% to 40% grade. A 30%to 40% grade means when you go forward 10 feet, you go up 3 to 4 feet. There is no way to do this without it hurting.
This hill was 2 miles long! A pair of bicyclist tried to make it up this hill. They couldn't do it. They dismounted and tried to push their bikes up the hill. They gave up. I kept running. I got to the top of the hill and ran on top of the mountain. When I started back down this hill I fried my quads because I had to put on the brakes.
My car is the last one in the parking lot. I still had a long drive to get home. When I got home I could barely walk.
I am really happy with a 10:43 min/mile pace. What is even better is that I am not seriously injured and only lost one toenail. The blood from the torn toenail only stained my sock and did not get onto my shoe. I consider that a success.
I have met my match. Thanks for reading my blog.
I have been training for the Mount Evans Ascent by running up hills - lots and lot of hills. I am getting better at hills. But I need to get way better!
My next race is the Long Scraggy Ranch 4.25 mile trail run on April 30th. The Long Scraggy is a hilly course. The Long Scraggy has some down hill parts. The Mount Evans race is 14.5 miles all up hill. The darn Mount Evans race is steep at 18% to 25% and really high at 14, 264 feet of elevation.
I went on a training run last night on the roads by my house. I ran hill repeats. I did well running at a pace of between 7:23 to 9:36 min/mile up hill.
Here is a hill by my house I ran hill repeats on. The hill is a mile long and has a 12 to 20% grade. I ran up the hill then gently jogged back down the hill. This hill is at 8,400 feet of elevation so I am not getting the extreme elevation workout I need. This is the best I can do in a pinch. The high hills are still snowy.
I only did the hill three times. I am getting better at hills, but I think am running slower overall. I found a photo I took of my Garmin from April 2010. This was the last road race I ran down in Denver at about 6,200 feet.
The course was a little hilly. I don't know what to think about this time. I guess this was fast. It doesn't matter, my goal now is to average 15 minutes per mile up to the top of Mount Evans.
Thanks for reading my blog.
I am really trying hard to find new and interesting places to run. I had read about the Three Sisters in my Trail Runners Guide to Colorado. On Thursday I had an appointment with my chiropractor. On a lark, I decided to undo any good my chiropractor had done for me and go for a run. The Three Sisters are pretty close to my chiropractor's office. My chiropractor even told me how to get there.
I found the Three Sisters and had a great run! This is a very cool place. The trails are steep, treacherous and fun. And I didn't fall once! Here is some photos I took after my run.
This is the sign at the park. This is a big sign. I thought this would be a cake walk.
Here are the three sisters. The three sisters are three massive rock outcrops. This is a pretty place.
A nice clean outhouse was a pleasant surprise. Only slightly less important that running shoes is a good restroom!
I got to find out all about the park from a ranger. This guy was really helpful. The weather was a bit chilly.
The ranger told me this rock outcrop does not have a name but everybody calls it "Gilligan's Island". "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...."
This is the trail to get to the trail. This trail is raised and goes over a bog. I was thinking at this point I was going to have a nice easy run. The elevation here is only about 7,800 feet so I was cooking along this nice segment really well.
Turn right a Gilligan's Island and the fun begins. There is really a trail here.
This is what is called a "technical trail", which means you can bite it at any moment. I labeled a root on this photo for further reference.
I put my shoe next to the root for scale. You can see this is a pretty big root.
I ran 5.25 miles on this trail. My average jogging stride length is 54" (which is pretty good considering my stubby legs). I calculated that I took about 7,000 to 8,000 strides during my run. This photo shows very bad foot placement. Chances are really good that if you make this mistake you will take a big tumble. My average pace was 10:06 min/mile. What does all this mean? It means that I have less than 1/10th of one second to decide where my next step has to land. Sometimes the next step has to be sideways to avoid an obstacle. The ability to change direction quickly is really important.
Here is an example of good foot placement. The right foot has landed very close to the rock on the right. When this foot is lifted it has plenty of room to clear the rock that is directly in front of it. Sometimes is is better to keep up a brisk pace over obstacles since it allows for higher vertical and longer horizontal movement. Think of it as being the difference between a standing jump and a running jump.
Quick, you have 1/10 of second to decide how to navigate these rocks. I put my shoe near the rocks for scale.
Did you go the right way? You cannot go to the left because the trail drops off and is covered with loose gravel. You are likely to slip and get hurt. The way to the right is covered with brush. You may be able to squeeze through going to the right but you have to slow down. You can easily scrape your leg on that rock if you move to the right. The best thing to do is to run a tight rope between the rocks. Remember that you are running and your steps are quick. This sequence of steps takes less that a second. You are out of balance but you can catch yourself before you fall.
I am sure you can pick out a good line on this without much difficulty. Here you take the path of least resistance and just run to daylight. There is my shoe again!
This is harder than it looks. The washouts make this a hazardous little stretch.
This is a nasty piece of real estate. Going up is bad. Going down is worse. Why? Nothing here is solid. Everything is loose.
Does this look like fun? Watch it - you have to really launch yourself on each step.
Back at the car and time to go home. I am actually proud I can keep up a 10 min/mile pace on a technical trail and I didn't fall down once!
Thanks for reading my blog.
I really enjoy reading the blogs of Spark runners that have done things I haven't done. I try to imagine what it would be like to run with 30,000 other runners. I think that running a race along an ocean would be fun. I like to hear about races where people push strollers or wear costumes. I wonder what it would be like to run with people that are having fun in nice sunny places.
I live in a different world. I am a born mountain trail racer.
I have raced on glare ice and in deep mud. I have had to dance over roots and rocks. I have bounded up slippery dirt stairs. I have had to push through willow bushes that stung my arms and face. I have raced in freezing temperatures and icy winds. I have crossed a finish line smeared with sweaty blood and needing a few bandages. I run races that are at 9,000+ feet of elevation over rough terrain. Most of the time there are only a handful of participants at these races.
I sometimes think my blogs about running and racing are remote, and not very accessible. I wonder if anyone reads my blogs says, �I know exactly what he is talking about.� I count on the support of my SparkFriends, even though I am an oddball runner. On my last blog �Up� I mentioned that I ran a "pokey" 11:36 min/mile pace for 3.25 miles. The fact is that 11:36 min/mile pace up a 20% grade at an elevation of 11,000 feet is actually blazing fast! It just sounds slow.
I could register for lighter races. I even know how to find these races.
Here is one that is on Sunday, April 10th.
3rd Annual Flying Pig 5K Charity Run/Walk
Fee includes tee-shirt, individual picture, AND pigs in a blanket� pancake breakfast
Even though flying pigs are cute, a race is a race. There is a starting line and a finish line separated by 3.11 miles. There are many races like this one every weekend. I keep thinking I should run a �fun� race. I just don�t want to.
I like mountain runners. These people are friendly, relaxed and usually very fit. There is an easy camaraderie before, during and after the race. The race is against the mountain and we are not competitors, we are a team.
The good news for me is that the race organizers always have a few bandages at the finish line.
Thanks for reading my blog.
