Report later. Crazy, absurdly rocky race. Ran 95 miles with Jason Lantz, really enjoyed having someone to talk to for 20 hrs. Wet the whole time from record rainfalls and extreme flash flooding, washing out bridges and rerouting the race. Did I mention it was ridiculously rocky? Massanutten ROCKS!

Sounds like hell on earth to me, but glad you enjoyed it. :-)

Congrats on a strong race. Only you would indicate crappy conditions and then say it ROCKS!

Sounds like a perfect race! Excited to read all about it...

Sounds like an ankle popper and with water it sounds impossible. Congrats.

Congrats on top 5 Jon. Looks like Karl pulled off another big win. Give me snow, mud, wind...rain no thanks.

That's pretty amazing that you ran 20 hours with one guy in a race.

Sounds like your type of conditions :-) Nice work.
