| Introduction | I was an average miler in high school who never stopped running. At the age of 30 I started road racing. After 35 years of running countless 5K and 10Ks and something over 30 marathons. I never kept records of how many races I ran but I was totally burned out on road running so I started riding bikes. Since I was running and biking, I decided to figure out how to swim more than 25 yards and enter a triathlons. That was actually fun. Then in 2006 my wife, Marye Jo, and I ran the Imogene (Ouray to Telluride) Pass Run in Colorado and I was forever hooked on trail running. Since then I have entered ninen 100 mile races and finished six including The Leadville 100 in 2009, The Tahoe Rim Trail 100 in 2011, the and the Gringstone 100 in 2012 . After 5 years I get in the Hardrock 100 in July of 2014 but was only able to complete 71 miles but the experience was worth all the effort. "Next Time!" |

Why do the eyes of the tiny spiders along trails at night strobe when hit by the light of an LED headlamp? I know it is something to do with the oscillations of the LED light but it is really strange.
