Fat Ass 100K Ongoing - The Woodlands
Training for the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in late June, The Woodlands' Rick Cook is doing a 100K training run from Shadowbend Park, along Lake Woodlands Drive, to Grogan's Mill -- 10 loops of 10K each.
Joining Cook is fellow The Woodlands resident John Opalko, who is gearing up for this November's Ultracentric 24-Hour Run in Grapevine.
The duo has had a good bit of company today. The roster looked like this:
Loop 1 -- Karen Felicidario, Holden Choi and Katy Lampson
Loop 2 -- Karen Felicidario and Holden Choi
Loop 3 -- Solo
Loop 4 -- Pete McNamara
Loop 5 -- Jon Walk
Loop 6 -- Solo
Loop 7 -- Solo
Well, Katy was headed down for an additional loop. Bill Dwyer arrived around 4 p.m. to ride a loop with Rick and John. (What's up with that? It's a run ... lol) And I was on my way back up after Bill called and woke me up from an afternoon nap. (After a late breakfast/early lunch at Egg & I where I saw - as I always do - Nora Wilson, the president of the Lone Star Multisport Club.)
However, Rick and John called it a day after 70K or 43.4 miles. Nice job Rick and John! (Rick would report that the heat did a little bit of the number on him today during the seventh loop; however, he ran the entire first six loops and normally during a race at the same distance or longer, he's doing a certain amount of walking.)
Rick will be headed out to California before the end of the month to a running camp designed specifically for those runners who want to run on the course before the late June event.

Sorry we missed you guys! I knew it had to be your truck when I heard George Strait coming from your tailpipe as you passed!
