Amber on day 5 of Trans Rockies Run. Broken(?) hand, cut knee and “crazy socks.” (and Avia AVI Stoltz trail racing shoes ) Too bad the event was “too short - really got going after 3 days…”

GORE -TEX Trans Rockies run. 6 Days, 120 miles, 25 000ft of climbing, 200 2 person teams. Amber and XTERRA dude Will Kelsay teamed up under the Timex Multisport Team banner and competed in the Open mixed team category.(Visit Will’s excellent blog)

They were going great, sitting in around 5th position up to day 4, when Will got sick. He decided to keep going, (naughty naughty) but a dozen of miles into stage 5, he had to quit when his body shut down. Not after being towed by Amber- creating Facebook fodder for life…

Will and XTERRA age goup World Champ Matt Boobar did the 7 day Trans Rockies Mountain bike race the week before, where they placed 5th overall. No one has succeeded in finishing both events back to back. Next year Will!

Amber carried on and finished solo. Here is an article they wrote on Amber called “The Toughest Racer” where the author calls her  “Tough Chick.” Read on …

I had long forgotten about the impromptu interview/chat at XTERRA Alabama with Mike Huebner from Stuffitts.

This morning I accidentally spotted a @Stuffitts Tweet. Mike has been a busy man, he edited and managed to create a coherent video clip from the couple of hours we chatted at the Oak Mountain State Park.

Considering I literally ran away from my 1st TV interview when I was 17, I think I’ve come a long way in terms of my relationship with the cold lens. Of course, after years of practice, I now speak English much more deliciously…

Here I briefly show the Avia AVI Stoltz trail racing shoe and of course, a Stuffitts demonstration.
