Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to keep running ultras into my 60s. 

Personal:

Details at: http://www.crockettclan.org/ultras/ultracrockett.pdf Married with six kids and six grandchildren.  Started running at the age of 46 in 2004.  My first race since Junior High days was a 50K. I skipped the shorter road stuff and went straight to ultramarathons.  I started as a back-of-the packer, but have progressed to a top-10-percent ultra finisher.  Wish I would have started running at a much earlier age.  Have had several articles published in national running magazines.  Check out my running adventure blog at www.crockettclan.org/blog

CONGRATS on the HUGE PR and 3rd. Cannot wait to read the whole report!

Congrats again on a great race. That is an amazing PR and it was cool to see you crush your last RR time. Way to go. You must not have really had any low points. How are you feeling now? Say Hi to Steve Bohman for me tomorrow. It will be his first day at your office. He's nervous.

From Vis on Sun, Feb 07, 2010 at 23:54:27 from 208.88.8.22

Great race. Way to crush your past times in this race. I'm jealous of your 100-mile prowess.

From Superfly on Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 00:10:50 from 208.117.127.110

Good job on a massive PR.

From Nevels on Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 00:39:12 from 65.81.141.216

Congrats on the new PR; I was following y'all (along with a few more) all day, and it was cool to see you all blazing the course...

Congratulations on the great PR!

You and Jon are killing me without a proper race report.

From Jim Kern on Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 22:50:31 from 97.117.52.32

Wow. Great race Davy. What a way to start the 2010 ultra season.

Again, great race and great report. As you say, it was almost perfect weather and no elevation, but I'm guessing you will be posting a lot of fast times this year -- you are literally off to a very fast start. Hope you come back and see us again next year.

Great report and congrats on the PR. I enjoyed it. Very inspiring.
