    I really wish that I didn't live on the other side of the continent from this race.

    It's only halfway across the continent for me, but still probably not realistic. Man that would be fun though.

    I adore him! Too bad I don't have an infinite race budget. I think my sponsorship may tap out at destination races, travel, lodging, etc., lol.

    I would love to go to that!! But way too far for me. I will be anxiously awaiting his new book though.

    On their Facebook page today: "Remember: when the race begins, start out slow. Then just keep getting slower and slower and slower."

    Sounds like my kind of race.

    If I volunteer to dress up in a Blerch costume, do you think Matt would let me crash in his bathtub?

    That totally seems like a fair trade.
