Ultramarathon Daily News, Cinco de Mayo Edition

Happy Cinco de Mayo! After growing up in Southern California, working in kitchens for a few years, and visiting Spain and Mexico multiple times, you’d think my espanol would be better than this. Writing these seven sentences took as long as the usual 15 I do on a normal day. Enjoy.

La semana pasada, I linked to este post about his primera 100k. Here is how it went.

Ice Age 50 esta el lado weekend. Gracias Scott K para acerca de la race. Max King corrio muy rapido la semana ano. Mas info acqi.

Trail WhippAss hablan con Anton. Answers interesantes.

Treadmills son peligrosos con smartphones.

No se como decir “fanboy” en español. Pero yo soy uno. GingerRunner es uno también.

Hoka esta nueva sponsor primero para UROC. Besides Speedgoat, is this Hoka’s first domestic race sponsor?

Esta director de la marathon es en the pokie.

It appears my two years of “D grade work” in high school Spanish did not pay off. Nice tactic to get people to click every link!

  I don’t benefit from people clicking on links. At least that I know of.
  And FTR, I took Spanish in HS too and didn’t learn squat. It was working as a chef that I picked up most of it.

I’m pretty sure they are going to start sponsoring the Oxy Invite USATF event this year.Reference

  It’ll also be interesting to see who bids on the Western States sponsorship.

11th grade Spanish happened a long time ago for me but I am a little suspicious of whether “es en the pokie” is correct.

Nevertheless, I will be looking for opportunities to use that phrase in the future.

Cool that you, Bill and Ginger get the nod together. Interestingly, you and Ginger are the two that I have paid to support over the last year. Your “products” are sincere, genuine and fun. Hoping you guys can ride this wave as long as possible!

  Thanks Stew! There’s a handful of us who play in the sandbox well together. We’re definitely in it for the fun of it and I hope it shows.

Google Translate can be a person’s best friend! That said, it was fun to try and figure out what each said with my terrible understanding of Spanich. I do love playing with Duolingo to help improve it tho!

You need to pay attention to the East Coast a bit more – Hoka’s been sponsoring the JFK50 for a few years.

  I do my best. You’ll notice that I also forgot about a race this past weekend that was 40 minutes from my house. D’oh.

No intent to criticize – that’s just my East Coast bias showing. You do a great job keeping up on this side of the country from 3000 miles away. It’s easy for me to notice, since it says Hoka on the back of my race shirt ?
