Some success in the BUC cirlces!

Star BUC member N is a new national champ at 100 miles, and honorary member M (who used to live in Bozeman but now resides a bit northwest of here) took the male honors at the the 100 mile champs in Tahoe. Go BUC!

Temps are hot here (for Montana). Snow is finally in full retreat. Finally runs can head far into the hills. (See previous post.) Our three months of summer are quite a treat.

On a technical note, mileage postings have been sporadic lately, in part because our mileage-increasing-machine (aka Tony) has been out of commission. Sounds like he'll be that way for awhile. (Who would have guessed that consistent 200+ mile weeks could cause injuries?!)

So I've devised a new geek-inspired formula to record our mileage, m:

m = E/(c^2),

where E = estimated weekly average of all Bozeman Ultra Crew members, and c = (e/pi) ~ 0.865.

That puts last week's collective mileage at 80. (Not that anyone cares.)
