The hard race lesson learned: don’t eat two Egg and Sausage McMuffins immediately before the start of a run. This resulted in me feeling sluggish most of the day until the last ten miles of the race. I was among the many who took a decent tumble on the trail when a branch hooked my right foot and foot and sent me flying downhill. I had some great wounds with lots of blood and dirt to show-off to other pumpkin pie connissuers at the finish line. <BR/>Cheers, PaulPaul Charterishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831196294867106529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-85738928781367498612007-10-17T19:48:00.000-07:002007-10-17T19:48:00.000-07:00Good to see you again Scott, sorry there was no ch...Good to see you again Scott, sorry there was no chance to say hello...you're too fast for me. ;-) Next time I'll get to the start earlier so I can chat with all the fast folks! Great job on navigating a technical course with such speed. I love your pictures of all the people, that takes some effort to snap pictures and negotiate that terrain without falling. I only got scenery pics myself, but I'm making it a goal to get more people pics at HK. (but then, the scenery was pretty mezmerizing!)I'll have my words and photos up this weekend.<BR/>See you at Helen Klein!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132576974564001603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-11431096097815583092007-10-17T15:23:00.000-07:002007-10-17T15:23:00.000-07:00Thanks for the mention, Scott, and the great write...Thanks for the mention, Scott, and the great write up! What a wonderful start to ultras! I'm hooked! While not nearly as eloquent, I just posted my own race report on my blog at www.tonyoverbay.com. Looks like I'll be seeing you all at HK!

I enjoyed your description of the runners high; all us trail/ultra crazies can definately relate to that, but you translated it from trail to paper quite well.<BR/><BR/>See you at HK! Speaking of which, the amazing Helen Klein nearly completed the DC Firetrails 50 Mile last Saturday (missed cutoff). How many 84-year-old great-grandmothers do you see at the starting lines of ultras?
