Sad news: our ultra running
friend Dave Westlake from Sheridan, WY died July 11 after
being struck by lightning while training for his next
100-miler in the Bighorn Mtns. He was only 63. Rest
in peace, Dave. We will miss you. (I wouldn't have seen
that on the BH race website if I wasn't so far behind on
this journal!) |
