Just wanted to pass along that Dave Essex (race director for the FD race on 
 October 15th) is stressed because the entries are low so far for the race. 
  If you plan to run - hope you can enter soon.
 
I talked to Ron Barrett today who said the course for Man vs. Horse is  
pretty much ready with a few markings still to be done.  I asked him to  
flatten the mountain and he refused my request.  He told me that entries  are 
pretty high this year as rumors abound that this could be the last year for  
the 
race.  Ron was pretty non-committal on that subject but he said this  has 
been another tough year and this is the last year that Gabby's doing the  
food.  It would be a shame to lose this race.
 
I assume Dana, Tandi and Shawna are running and Mark told me he would try  
to fit this race in between 100 milers the weekend before and after (again - 
I  am pretty sure that the sun in Phoenix has affected Mark!).  Kam,  
Deborah and Steve are volunteering (thank you and of course be sure and  tell 
me 
how fresh I look at miles 16 and 32).  Dan and Julie could be there  too?
