It's a small world

This was funny.  When I got roped into the persistence hunt, I hadn't realized that Philip Stark (Berkeley prof) had been the guy driving the event -- it was an idea from his 50th birthday.  So when I initially blogged about the hunt, I hadn't mentioned him.  So we're driving around Wyoming last weekend, and he receives the following email from one of his students.

Hey, Professor Stark.
 
John Durant, Barefoot Ted, and a team of ultra runners are trying their luck at persistence hunting in Wyoming at the moment. John is blogging the experience, starting at http://hunter-gatherer.com/blog/im-going-persistence-hunt and continuing to the most current post.
 
I'm not sure if you follow any of the paleo/primal/ancestral health bloggers, but this seemed right up your alley. Enjoy!
 
Best,
XXXXXXXXX

We all had a good laugh at that one.

Hillarious.  Yeah, Stark came up with the idea.  I thought I knew just the right person to get the job done...and that person directed us to Wyoming...and finally the Red Desert.Alas, our "guide" never did make it.  But we definitely chased some antelope!Be careful what you hope for ;-)BFT
