I was at Rocky Raccoon in Texas last weekend for the 50-mile run. There were several Ironmen there...any Trifuelers???

"Only 2600 ft. of climbing". That is a great attitude. You are becoming quite an accomplished ultrarunner. I always enjoy your race reports. Congratulations!

I love race reports from ultra's. If everything goes well with my first IM's this year, I need to find an ultra for 2010. Thank you for the motivation.

Hey, thanks guys! Can you imagine my RR when I run 100??? :)

gfd: Rocky's 2600 ft of climbing was "nothing" compared to Vermont's 11,000 feet of climbing!!!

Beads: Glad you liked the feet pix. I'm sure you've had your share! Btw: which ultra did you decide on next?

Damn it damn it damn it. I cracked and read it (maybe again ;) and it always makes me want to go do one. Stupid grad school limiting my training time.... I will be back to it though! I <3 trails and running!! Now I'm off to *not* look at upcoming races ;)

C'mon Kylie you know you want to Ultra (peer pressure here)

Star I am signed up for the South mountain 100k in May.
It is a Fat @ss event and Anton and Cayman are doing it as well.

The start is 10-15 minutes from my house ;-)

Then I am trying to think about a 100 miler in August which is also a FA.

Be nice! I did it once and I will be back... I just have to graduate first... or at least have less classes!

Enjoy the trail time... and *someday* I am going to do one with you (and Star/Anton/etc... I'll travel for it!)!

wow, Star! that's awesome!!! It makes me want to do Sunmart 50k more than before! I don't know that I will ever do 50 or 100 mi, but if there's one thing I've learned on this journey, it's never say never :) Great RR!! Totally psyched me up!

Kylie: Training long is GREAT stress relief from grad school. So, when you decide on an ultra, let us know and I may be there!

Beads: What does "trying to think about a 100 miler" mean exacatly? It's either DO or NOT DO.

Anton: I know I won't be an ultrarunner til I run 100. Til then I'll be content with my peon status ;)

jtrimom: Go to Sunmart! I think it may be on the same course which was lots of technical fun!
