Ran the Grand Canyon R2R2R with Rob and Cody.  Full report is on my Green Shorts running page.  And for anyone who doesn't think this deserves a Race Report... well, go run it yourself and see if it isn't more worthy than any race you've ever done...

Ugh!!! Nice time. That sounds awesome. I can't wait to finally do that . . . someday.

I am so glad we got to do this epic run. I have been dreaming about it for months now and all my dreams came true. It was everything I hoped for and then some. A run of a lifetime.

Nice report, sounded like a great run. So did you get a place near Paris Mtn?

I'm with you on the 'worthy of a race report'! I HIKED Rim to Rim in one day, and yup...that was good for me! AND it took me longer to do just that than for you to run that and all the way back - simply in awe! Someday when I loose a bit more of my sanity, I would like to do this one...someday. Congrats on a HUGE epic race, I'll have to go to the green shorts blog and read more. CONGRATS!

Bryce- we won't be buying a house for several months yet, so don't know.

Incredible run. I loved the blog! Rob is so tough. I love running down there more than anyplace on earth. (but not that far)
