Looking forward to the Ragnar report. I would say, "Go get 'em, Tiger", but I think that's something a lady would say to a man, however I do wish to convey that sentiment in a manly fashion.

From Burt on Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 14:56:27 from 68.76.197.194

Oh no. I gotchya. And I will carry that manly sentiment with me into the race. I'll be using the speedy arms technique as well.

From sam on Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 17:14:13 from 90.195.99.55

hey burt, yep good luck for Ragnar, ditto for Monte but in a tom boy fashion LOL keep the arms pumping!

;-)

Have fun on the Del Sol Relay. It is a great race and we had a blast last year! Although by the end of the race the car full of smell guys had grown old!

From Burt on Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 17:30:40 from 68.76.197.194

This will be my fourth Ragnar experience. Can't wait. And Jeff, I'll be bringing along the Febreeze!

From Eric Day on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 19:14:51 from 189.192.60.158

How much and how long will you be doing in the Ragnar race?

Wish you the best anyways! Cheers!

From Burt on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 20:12:16 from 68.76.197.194

Could be as much as 19 miles. Not sure at this point. We just had a runner drop out.

From kungfublonde on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 02:16:07 from 64.203.113.50

Go get 'em, Tiger!!

From Kelli on Sun, Mar 01, 2009 at 20:24:57 from 151.118.168.163

No race report yet? Bummer, I was looking forward to it, and all of your pictures!

It was great to meet you!!! And thanks for the birthday brownies. I had Walter test them out first and when he did not die, I dared to try them. Actually, because you mentioned it, it never occurred to me that you might be trying give me the RUNS for my run, so THANKS!!!!

Man, it is stinkin' hot here, does it ever cool off?????

From Kelli on Sun, Mar 01, 2009 at 20:25:44 from 151.118.168.163

OH, and RAchel and Mike----they are going to have a Ragnar Relay in California!!!! It would be so cool to come and do that one!!!

From Walter on Sun, Mar 01, 2009 at 23:38:47 from 76.27.13.75

Burt it was good seeing you in the flesh!

You were alot taller in person than I thought youd be. jk Too bad we werent able to be in a closer time frame. Oh and I read James' blog and you guys ate breakfast and got showers at Camilles house? not fair! That wouldve been a nice feeling instead of waiting close to 30 hours for one. haha Keep up the good work. Hope to see you out soon.

From Burt on Sun, Mar 01, 2009 at 23:52:11 from 98.167.151.26

Rachel - Thanks! Very womanly, too.

Kelli - I'll get around to it some time. It just seems like a monumental task. It was easier to run it than blog about it. And the picture that my friend took ending up being a mere slit through the lens cover.

Walter - good seeing you, too. You're voice is a lot more serious in person than your goofy blogs. LOL. And hey, I took another shower at exchange 12. Yeah, it was cold, but the worse thing about it was standing in the gravel with bare feet.

From montelepsy on Mon, Mar 02, 2009 at 01:12:40 from 155.85.58.253

Where in CA, Kelli? It does sound like fun, except for the smelly van part. And the lack of sleep part. And the running part :)

From Kelli on Mon, Mar 02, 2009 at 11:36:45 from 151.118.168.163

I did not see the exact starting and finishing points, but it is all along the coast. It is pretty flat, too. It is not the best while you are doing it, but when you look back at it, it is pretty fun!!!

Burt, I blogged my experience 3 times!!!!! And all 3 times when I pushed submit, it did not work. I did not learn and save it any of the times. Idiot. So, mine remians unblogged as well.

From Kelli on Mon, Mar 02, 2009 at 11:37:18 from 151.118.168.163

Oh, and bummer about the picture. I should have gotten my camera out. Now you will have nothing to remember me by! ;-)

From Burt on Mon, Mar 02, 2009 at 16:41:02 from 68.76.197.194

That's not entirely true. I cut a lock of your hair off when you weren't looking. I sleep with it under my pillow.

From Michelle N. on Mon, Mar 02, 2009 at 16:47:05 from 75.162.247.190

Oh Burt, I haven't even met you but I sure do like you:)

From Kelli on Wed, Mar 04, 2009 at 09:37:30 from 71.219.75.10

Seriously, you always make me laugh! I love it! You must keep your family entertained.
