Pre-Sanitas Thought of the Week
November 28, 2007If you have pre-Sanitas butterflies on Wednesday morning, don’t worry. You’ll probably vomit them up at the top.

Pre Sanitas Thoughts
November 20, 2007Jen says it’s 44 degrees and to a Californian that means “ice age”
Maybe I should really buy gloves
Mark is one fast man
My legs are strong, my legs are strong, my legs are…ahh forget it
I sandbag so I can exceed my low expectations
Now off….
The weekly sandbagging begins
November 20, 2007Mark: My legs hurt this week.
(Translation: I’m still going to smoke you all.)
Tim: Yeah, I think I’m takin’ it easy.
(Translation: No way, man. I’ll be right on your ass the whole way up the mountain.)
Mark: Yeah, I don’t know if I’ll even time it this week.
(Translation: I’m still shooting for that 20-minute climb, but I want to look casual while I’m doing it.)
Tim: Me either.
(Translation: If he’s not sandbagging, I’m so getting to the summit first this week.)

Major Moments in Sanitas History
November 15, 2007While searching out the Louisiana Purchase in 1806 Zebulon Montgomery Pike, made a startling discovery: Mount Sanitas. After climbing to the top on November 14, Pike claimed, “There is no mountain as beautiful and majestic as this steep little bitch.”
The next day, Pike and crew hiked down the Front Range where a new mountain stood in his way. Pike, who had previously decided to name Mount Sanitas, ‘Mount Damn This Thing is Tough and of Yea It was Discovered by Me, Pike,’” changed his mind an instead called the new, less majestic geological feature Pikes Peak. Standing just over 14,000 ft. rumor has it that the new Pikes Peak is a bit more treacherous.
This has been great moments in Mount Sanitas History.

Thoughts while almost dieing…I mean “running”
November 14, 2007- Jesus, I wish I had prayed more this morning
- False summits suck
- Beer…mmmmm…beer
- Where is Mark?!? That bastard!
- Don’t fall, don’t fall, don’t fall
- It’s all over in 20 minutes, or maybe 30
- I wish I had four legs
- Damn I’m short
- Holy cow this is cool!
- Stop thinking and just go already
