Group training runs
I am trying to organize a group training run on March 24, and April 14th. We will meet at noon at the Nature center and run 1/2 the course at a time. Expect to be out for around 1 hour and 15 minutes. If there is a large group we can split up into different pacing groups; making it comfortable for all involved. The nature centure has bathrooms and a drinking fountain. Making this an ideal spot to start and end from.
Email me at senatorb9@gmail.com if you have questions.

Race Update 03-05-2012
Good Morning everyone!
I hope you all have had productive training this weekend. The race is now on the horizon and its time to stretch out your mileage. My suggestion is to reach your goal mileage in the next two weeks and then allow for some taper time before the race.
A quick apology to everyone; I am sorry about not returning a few emails this year. After I opened my Gmail account it occurred to me that at the start of the New Year Gmail has stopped forwarding the race emails to me. Not being the most tech savvy person I think it was probably more operator error than anything. I am very sorry to those of you who have not gotten a proper response to your emails. I broke out in a nervous sweat last night when I realized what has happened.
In an effort to make amends may I suggest that if I have not given you a satisfactory answer to your questions please call me on my Cell Phone 574-596-3860 or send me another email to my main account senatorb9@gmail.com .
Face Book: There seems to be some confusion with the FB account. I set it up like the race is a person. That way it can be a continuing account that people can tag photos and constantly update with info. If you are looking for the account think first name-last name like this, “Potatocreek Trailruns” if you were to put this into the search window I think this should pull it up.
Course map: I will be updating the course map by the end of the month. Due to NIMBA redirecting the mountain bike course and adding another .7 of a mile I will have to change the course just a little bit over last year. I just ran the course this past Saturday and it was a bit long with me moving one aid station and the extra .7 on the mountain bike trail.
Misc: I will order the finisher awards this week. I will be going with about what we had last year. If you can sign up a week before the race I should be able to get you a finisher medal with your name engraved on race day. Ultra peeps will again be getting a brass hiking compass with the race logo, distance and date engraved on the back. Those of you signing up the day of the race you will receive a finisher medal; but, it will only have race logo, date and distance.
Again, apologies for any delay in email response. Hopefully I have taken steps to correct this.
Respect,
Senator Brett

A Rambling Post:
The entries for the 2012 race keep trickling in as we near the end of February. Some interesting observations so far:
The 60k field of runners will be much larger than last year.
All of the course winners from last year will be returning to run again in 2012.
I have managed to nail down a suitable “rental” agreement between the race and the owner of the pneumatic potato launcher for the next 45 years (odd but that is what he wanted).
I will keep the new shirt color a secret until they come in.
Northern Indiana Mountain Bike Assoc has done some work to the trails adding about .7 miles to the mountain bike trail section
It has been a pretty mild winter so far making trail running for this time of year much more enjoyable than in years past.
People have been contacting me about the race at all hours of the day and night. No worries. I find it amusing so far.
If you guys can fit it into your schedules I strongly suggest getting out to the park for a training run with Bill K. They meet Saturdays at 8 AM in the parking lot by the Nature Center. I will be heading out there myself sometime this coming weekend to run the course with a Garmin so I can put the data on the blog. Although I will not be able to make 8 AM session (sorry Bill) I will fit it in where I don’t have basketball or indoor soccer obligations with my kids. If you see me out there please stop me and say hello.
Respect,
Senator Brett

Last years runners/times
As a reminder: Those who took first place last year please fill out a mail in entry, fill it out and then please mail it out to me. (Rachel Kaser and Brett Pete I am talking directly to you!) I am working with Todd from T&H timing as what he needs to update the "see who is registered" listing for the rest of the mail in entries.

Personalized engraved finisher medals.
Free food at the finish line.
You get to meet local running legend Bill "Idaho" Kulwicki.
Aid stations 3.5 miles(ish) apart.
Camp sites are within walking distance of the start/finish area.
You will run around the east end of the 327 acre Worster Lake.
