My third running of this race and my best finish, PR lowered by 9 min. Overall and in hindsight it was a great run, yet still very painful and numerous times during the run I questioned my sanity and swore I would never do it again. But, hey only 7 more times and I get the 10 timers jacket. I trained better for this years race than I did for the others, but I know I can do better with more training next year. Stats to follow.

Solid time.

Sorry I didn't get to talk to you yesterday, but once I got inside the lodge I was somewhat pressed for time. Good race, and I hear you about the 10-timers jacket; I've "only" got 6 more to go...

thanks for the company and pacing the first 14. Your dash down warpath ridge kept me moving.

When are you guys going to join Facebook? :)

I'm eager to see the write up on the race. Here is the view of the race from my perspective.
