You would do great in France.<br />Karl Meltzer may be contemplating taking on your Grand Slam record. You can take it back from him later.Michael Gildeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336981314806073516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332822485877032007.post-14474013248994809422011-12-12T14:27:19.497-05:002011-12-12T14:27:19.497-05:00Exciting!

Entry opens in six days.<br /><br />Jon, running the Slam for a record time wouldn't necessarily be why I would even want to do it again- it definitely wasn't the reason why I ran it when I did. Simply, to me running the Slam is Ultra Running and Ultra Running is running the Slam. It is THE event in the U.S. and there is no other comparison in my mind. I could write a novel with my reasons for this opinion.Neal Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817697044864768312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332822485877032007.post-62196530109570174532011-12-11T19:50:52.792-05:002011-12-11T19:50:52.792-05:00Man, jealous.

No point in doing the Slam again until someone has broken your record and you can take it back again...Jon Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550264057212165804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332822485877032007.post-44977341821978942092011-12-11T18:43:40.977-05:002011-12-11T18:43:40.977-05:00Easy for me to say (from the comfort of my living ...Easy for me to say (from the comfort of my living room and having never run an ultra) but I say go for UTMB. Being an east coast trail runner and an aspiring ultra dude, I would love to see another Blue Ridge boy do well in France. Obviously much was made of the misfortunes of the American's this past summer - go show them how we do it Appalachian style!Larry Linuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350535612192985485noreply@blogger.com
