I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

What, you really think I'm going to run today? You gotta be kidding. Soreness was a 7 out of 10, probably the most sore since SGM years ago. Far more sore than after the Bear 100 last year.

Awesome report Jon. Really enjoyed reading the novel. You had every right to celebrate that finish!!! Those kinds of moments where you hit the "stretch" goal, on that kind of stage, are ones to cherish!

Thanks, Jake. Hopefully you do the same when you OTQ.

Congrats on your placing Jon! One of these days I'll join you and see what this ultra running is all about. From what I can tell it looks kinda hellish at times:) Not easy at all..

Congrats on an awesome race, the report was a very good read. I liked the finish celebration -- I always look so miserable even if I'm really happy at the end.
