Squire's Castle is 45 minutes from my house and my children and I have spent many,many hours there.The whole park is full of regular trails and over four miles of blacktop paths through the woods (great for strollers)BUT... I never heard of the Burning River 100. I had absolutely no idea we had a 100 miler so near or that we had that many trails in NE Ohio. I haven't spent that much time at Cuyahoga Valley Rec. park, as it's farther away, but I have fond memories of the Sound of Music hills.<br />I guess I need to get involved in a running club or something, as I would have been happy to volunteer at that race. <br />I have never run more than a marathon, but ultras have been in my heart for a while now... Burning River will be on my short Bucket List.<br />Not even sure if you read comments this far past the original post, but thanks for the great RR.Milemomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-84865582002887767562011-08-04T08:12:40.017-07:002011-08-04T08:12:40.017-07:00that is pretty epic to even be able to run for pra...that is pretty epic to even be able to run for practically a day straightJosh Smithhttp://www.todays-post.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-40343381852996251162010-08-24T16:02:03.205-07:002010-08-24T16:02:03.205-07:00WOW.

But I never new, after reading your personal race results, that you had an 18 hour, 100 miler in you. Your 50 mile split says it all - you were having one of those remarkable days that comes only once in a great while - congratulations! Nice hardware too and a check to boot . . . talk about a successful race.<br /> I have an ulterior motive for communicating with you . . . I self-published a novel in 2007 entitled "100 Miles to Destiny." I have received numerous positive comments about the story and if you're interested in posting a review on your blog, I'd be happy to send you a copy. Please consult my website for more info when time permits:<br />www.100milestodestiny.com <br /> Once again, an 18 hour 100 miler is an outstanding achievement.<br />Willis McCarthy, Author and Educator<br />Serra High School, San Mateo, CAWillis McCarthyhttp://www.100milestodestiny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-30208140525156990152010-08-10T23:05:20.017-07:002010-08-10T23:05:20.017-07:00Great race and incredible PR.

I was at an aid station to volunteer and notice this guy getting iced. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t place the face. Then on vacation last week in Oregon it hits me—that was Scott Dunlap. On my return I google his name and find this blog and write-up on the BR100.<br /><br />Scott. We worked together years ago in Portland. If you come back to the BR100 look me up.

I didn't realize it was you in those se...Marco! I didn't realize it was you in those sexy socks. ;-)<br /><br />Regarding your Vespa question, I'm a huge fan of the supplement. I've experimented with taking various amounts, and have found that one packet every 3-4 hours works best for me. I took one about 45 minutes before the start, then one every 4 hours or so. If I had a crew or more drop bags, I probably would have done 5. Fellow Vespa uses have told me every 2-3 hours works for them.<br /><br />The effect of Vespa is pretty fascinating. My experience is that it doesn't give you a boost of energy, like a caffeinated gel or Coke, but it does create this "safety net" from energy lows. I just don't ever seem to bonk or go through a low spot. <br /><br />When I get into the more intense part of my training, I do most of my long slow runs on nothing but Vespa (2-4 hours typically). I feel like it helps train my body to use fat as fuel. It's an odd feeling to run 4 hours on nothing but water and electrolytes and still feel good. When race time comes around, however, I take in 250-300 calories/hour the whole time. <br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-77140126855001112662010-08-05T09:39:12.040-07:002010-08-05T09:39:12.040-07:00Scott,

Most people I know that read your blog like it. Questions for you, if you don't mind me asking - I noticed that you consumed four Vespas, did you plan on just four? what do you think would be optimal in a 100 miler? how do you think it affects your running?<br />You passed me in TRT by the redhouse loop. You said something about being in the "compression socks club".<br />Again, congratulations on your PR!<br /><br />Marco DensonMarco Densonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900699588695535342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-30098615273880185392010-08-05T06:57:52.039-07:002010-08-05T06:57:52.039-07:00It's like an inside joke of "talk less&qu...It's like an inside joke of "talk less" from one of the most chatting person out there:) Right on!Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-12472643508922551362010-08-05T06:05:57.499-07:002010-08-05T06:05:57.499-07:00Scott,

When I first did the Ohlone 50k, I met a bunch of ultrarunners who were talking about my blog as I walked up and one of them said "isn't it great that he always starts with 'a great pleasure to join runners'? I always know it's going to be a positive story". They all laughed talking about how it was one of the inside jokes for folks who read this blog. So I've stuck with it ever since. ;-)Scott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-23697369317693249382010-08-04T15:17:19.882-07:002010-08-04T15:17:19.882-07:00Congrats, that's an amazing time.
