Apparently the city has a high turnover of parks paper pushers and the time frame for ABA races is longer than anticipated. In addition 6 classes and revolutionary plans for 2008 requiring money to be made are not conducive to organizing an event of this caliber. I mean I have to cope with east side vandals busting down my course, freak snowstorms and mounts of muffins and coffee to keep people warm and happy while huddled in rec center basements. The thought brings back chills...
On a more serious note I had every intention of putting on a race again this year, but had decided to make it bare bones with no prizes for finishing or showing up, just some gas money for the fast cats to cut down on unnecessary organizing and hassling of sponsors. Then I got the word finally that I had been down all the wrong paths for a course and that I was too late to get one when I finally found the high road. It all became justifiable when I decided to finish my degree in December and the accompanying workload.
So thanks for all of your inquiries and interest in the event. Just make sure you show up to the Terrascape race, Lonn's got the wet leaves and beer flowing like lava out Mt Baker.
Use your new found free time to work on tricks like these. Limber up in style with agility stunts in the parking lot pre race and set those muscles at ease post event.
