[at-l] Errata re Brian Robinson... Re: Your health on your hike: staying out of the myth

[sloetoe at yahoo.com (Sloetoe)]

### Sorry, but I had been up all night when I wrote this, and
neglected to write clearly enough. A couple of people have now
expressed concern, so:

1) Brian Robinson is fine. Wonders who's spreading the rumor.
Here's what he's been up to:
http://stevenscreekstriders.org/events/brian_r/jmt_challenge.html

2) I wrote about "the record on the PCT" last night when I meant
to "the record on the *JMT*". Further, I just realized that it's
*Flyin' Brian* [!!!] who is the record holder on the PCT, done
WHILST doing the calender year Triple Crown. I think that means
I should also have put FB with Bakwin and Burrell as one of the
"toughest throughhikinest ultra-runningest hombres walking the
little blue dot."

[Hmmmm. And lastly, just cuz this sounds so "SPEED" oriented,
remember, hiking is not about speed, it's about challenge, and
Beauty, and truths. And simple ones, at that.]

Peace
'Toe

below you. (On the other hand, Flyin' Brian deserves a little
credit, too, for you insult him as well.) BTW, the record on the
PCT is held by (I think)Peter Bakwin and Buzz Burrell -- two of
the toughest throughhikinest ultra-runningest hombres walking
the little blue dot.
