[pct-l] Scott's Competition

[Tortoise]

The way Scott is moving, you are going to wind up with tread marks on 
your back and he'll be asking what was that last little bump.  Just a 
word to the wise. :-)))

> There is no question in my mind that John is not only going to break that record, he is going to kick it clear across the Rockies he is one of the great endurance athletes of our time who makes it a habit of achieving what he sets out to achieve and he decided he wants the JMT record.   I'm only surprised that it lasted  so long ( 3 years ).
> He attempted it last year but had to bail out at Tuolumne Mdw. because his shoes fell apart.
> To get an idea what John is all about read the following reviews:  
> LAUREUS WORLD SPORTS AWARDS....one of the most driven endurance athletes on earth, Stamstad intentionally seeks out the most difficult ultra-marathon races he can find.....
> MOUNTAIN BIKE HALL OF FAME....Stamstad has dedicated himself to seeking those events which claim to be the ''most challenging'' or the ''most difficult''.

>   Actually, I have a neat plan.  I am going to be hiding in the bushes just north of the PCT southern terminus.  I will jump out in front of Scott when he is still a 100 yards away.  I might leave some booby traps on the trail too.
