The title of this column is borrowed from one of the most impactful books I’ve ever read: “Seeds of Greatness” by Denis Waitley. But for anyone who had the privilege of knowing Denis, or simply learning from him through his books, audios, or keynote speeches, those three words are far more than a title.

Josiah Middaugh might humbly say he’s only “doing damage control” when he races these days, but the clock tells a slightly different story. The 46-year-old former XTERRA World Champion sliced off 53 seconds from his 2024 time at the Davos Dash on Wednesday night, good enough for a runner-up finish, just behind champion Sam Brown. “Just trying to not have my worst time ever was kind of the goal,” Middaugh — the course record holder — remarked with a smile.

After a three-hour hearing in May in which county staff and developers laid out changes to the plan that was originally approved in 2021, the commissioners on Wednesday reserved time for public comment on the plan.
