This last weekend in April is always known as BSIM weekend on this beautiful stretch of coastline. What an exciting weekend. The weather was near perfect – some headwinds on a few sections of the course slowed down the runners down a bit. I was in one of the lead cars with Sally Smith the wind didn’t slow us down.

Dean Karnazes did the Big Sur Double by running to the start – leaving Carmel at 2:45 am.

Congrats to all finishers !!!

I just arrived in Monterey for the weekend. I will be working the expo selling my book and doing a few seminars on Saturday. The weather forecast looks awesome for Sunday.
