What a blast! you ran a solid race! You were flying up those switch backs, every time I looked it seemd you had cut the distance from the last Twikies progress check in half. It was great to run with you for a while, thanks for pulling me along, I would have been alot slower through that section if I wasn't trying to keep up with you. You killed you time goal and set a PR!! that is awesome, great job!

Matt, you killed that buffalo. It's official. You can take tomorrow off.

Matt, You were amazing at the finish line. I didn't see anyone else running that fast of a sprint across the line!! Simply amazing.

Congratulations on a well run race.

An incredible feat! Nice job! So cool you actually saw a buffalo too!

Congrats, Matt! Everytime our paths crossed, I could tell you were going strong and that you were easily going to break 10 hours. So congrats on doing it! Nice to get a chance to meet you.

You were so cute showing off your watch to everyone! I wish I had been at the finish when you crossed, but was glad to get to visit with both of you.

Nice running Matt! I was glad to see you on the course looking so strong and even at the finish you looked amazing! Well done!

WOW!!! You SPRINTED to the finish for over half a mile?!!!! WAY to finish strong on tired legs. CONGRATS on the HUGE PR! You're AWESOME! They really served buffalo stew? I don't think I could stomach that after seeing those beasts on the course! But then again, it's so fitting! You totally killed that Buffalo RUN!

Very impressive run Twinkies. I really enjoyed the report. Congrats on the PR. You're an animal.

Thanks for the comments guys. It was a great race. I am a quite sore today, but I think I will be running by the end of the week.

I just realized that I posted my report on the wrong day. I must've been really tired when I wrote it up.
