Awesome pics. I used to run the Comrades Marathon years ago. I never ran a trail race before though. It must have been an incredible experience for you. Well done!

Wonderful write-up Scott. Talking with you made the endless switchbacks of the Hazelnut loop fly by! I had mentioned the My Drunk Kitchen while climbing to North Peak. Here's my wife's recommended episode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTyotI3IHFQ

The "Volunteers hang on tight!" photograph is of Ken Michal, who does the Running Stupid podcast and had just gotten back from HURT in Hawaii, and his wife.

Yes, my daughter got them for me. She said "Daddy, you run like a giraffe", which is not far off when you look at my stride, actually. But then she said "giraffes are really fast" so I felt better. ;-)

Very cool! I should have gotten a pic with both of you. Great running with you, and thanks for backtracking to clarify the route markings.

Very well written! Thanks for the shout out.

Great run Scott! I had fun running with you...for as long as I could anyway! I think the future looks good for ITR and their team looks strong too!

My brother also raced out there with us that day. He's only been at it for a short period of time and he is doing awesome. Just thought I'd mention it as I pretty darn proud of him!

Scott, you did a great job (as always) of capturing the event, and it was fun to see you out there. It's interesting you too felt "Something about this event was bringing me back to the humble roots of why we love this sport. No sponsors on my shirt, no 500+ people at the start, just a gaggle of outdoor enthusiasts making the most of a great winter day." That's the feeling I ran away with as well, and it prompted me to write a commentary on the sport rather than a race report, http://www.therunnerstrip.com/2012/01/trail-racing-and-ultramarathoning-today/
Check it out because it includes some sage perspective from you :-)
