Doing Transrockies, The "Easy" Way

The Transrockies Run is a 6 day trail race that covers 120 miles in the beautiful Colorado Rockies. Racers are in teams of two and this year's race sold out early.

I am currently en route to "do" Transrockies from behind the scenes. I am going to volunteer. My official title? "Finish Line Food Prep". I picked that job because:
1. I figured that would almost guarentee me coffee every morning.
2. I wouldn't starve.
3. Hopefully I won't have to get up BEFORE the pre-crack of the crack of dawn.

While most athletes and volunteers will be sleeping in tents, I will be van camping.

I am currently in Trinidad, Colorado at the Corner Cafe. The last time I was in this town, I was racing my bike 3,000 miles across the United States as part of Team Ride Red for the epic Race Across America event. The only thing I remember about Trinidad is the grocery store that had a Starbucks and the bathrooms were upstairs. I'll be in Buena Vista in 3-4 hours.

Pre-race festivities kick off tomorrow and I will be blogging daily. Here we go!
