Going to California

I'll be heading to San Francisco as Race Director for Pacific Coast Trail Runs www.pctrailruns.com

Brownie (JT) wins the McDavid calf sleeves (and some other McDavid goodies) for his accurate guess on where I'm moving.

To say I'm excited to be joining Sarah Spelt (Owner/President) of PCTR is a huge understatement.  I've been involved in race directing in one form or another for the last 8 years and love every aspect of it from handing out awards to cleaning up trails afterwards.  PCTR is THE major player in event management in California and I'm eager to be a part of the commitment to excellence and growth of the business while learning a lot from Sarah who's been driving PCTR since 2000.

I'll be in CA for good starting on November 7th and look forward to this exciting new journey.  I'm not made to sit and work under florescent lighting and am thankful my desk, for the most part, will now be on the trails again.

  9. You might have to hire Mr. Wade as an assistant, he's currently out of a job.

  15. Tim-
    I'm one of Lucho's projects, a longtime reader of your blog, and frequent PCTR runner. The Oakland hills (home to many PCTR events) are my backyard. Sounds like you know plenty of locals, but let me add my name to the list... should you need any assistance in the transition or adjusting, don't hesitate to reach out.

  16. Sorry for the delay in some comments getting published and for my delayed response. There was something wacky with comment notification and I just foundthat I had 34 unpublished comments. I'll respond to the ones where im asked a question when I have WI-fi set up tomorrow. Don't want to be banging out long winded writing on my phone!
    Thanks
    tim
