George Vargas: Ray, It was a pleasure to meet you today on GMR. I will be making a post on my blog and would like a hi-res of the picture you took of me. I need it for my sponsors. It's not often I have my picture taken since I train alone 90% of the time. As I mentioned I'm training for the Furnace Creek 508 so you might see me up your neck of the woods more often over the next few months :-) My blog is www.epictrain.wordpress.com (05/28/11)
