Adventures in Onionism

Jan 11: Tilden Orienteering ( BAOC ) Jan 31: Fremont Fat Ass 50K OR Ordnance 100K Feb 21: Montara Mountain 50K March 7: Way Too Cool 50K (lottery) March 21: 4MPH Challenge April 10-11: Zion 100M or Lake Sonoma 50M (lottery) April 18: Mokelumne 50M May 2: MeOw! Marathons June 6: Bone Tempest (off the radar) June 20: SF Solstice 24 Hour July 31/Aug 1: Tushar 100M Aug 22: Waldo 100K (lottery) Aug 29: Tamalpa Headlands 50k   Sep 5: Rogaining in Henry Coe Sep 12: Plain 100 Sep 19: IMTUF 100 Sep 25-26: The Bear 100 Oct 10-11: Euchre Bar Massacre That would be 16 ultras, including five 100-milers, with three Hardrock qualifiers in three weeks, and three insane off-trail bushwhacking events, plus a couple orienteering events. I've never done more than 8 ultras in a year before, but I am unlikely to get picked in all the lotteries. I'm not 100% sure about all these, but I'm quite excited about many. I will be teaching a course at USF on Mondays Spring Semester...

Sometime in the last 24 hours my blog lost its status as the #1 google result for the "garret christensen" search. No, I don't routinely self-google every single day to check, I just happen to have been horribly bored at least twice in the last 24 hours. I was worried I'd eventually lose out to the set decoration assistant for the movie Twilight with my name on imdb, but I'm still ahead of him, and instead I've lost out to one of those dumb take-up-every-single-domain-name-in-the-universe-and-put-up-a-blank-site-with-just-ads-so-we-can-extort-the-person/company-with-this-name-if-they-ever-want-it services. I was hoping to end this post with "oh well, at least my hike naked day photo is still the number one on that search" but I just checked and that's not true either. Woe is me.
