Awesome-- again, you get at least 5 minutes for great pictures, and at least 15 for the sleep. There's your sub-5.<BR/><BR/>You will never figure why the Vespa works wonders. It's an ancient Japanese secret and I am sworn to guard the secret of commit seppuku ("hara-kiri").<BR/>Your iPod has may have to stop before you are truly stripped down to your primal bare elements.<BR/><BR/>Maybe someday we can go down and both do Javelina in animal costumes.<BR/><BR/>Train and taper well for Diablo!Mark Tanaka (Ultrailnakaman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13506740152878287937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-33683308484047002762008-03-28T17:00:00.000-07:002008-03-28T17:00:00.000-07:00Great report, Scott.

I'm amazed at how much detail you can recall - I think all of my energy would have been focused on putting one foot in front of the other and soaking in the beautiful surroundings (thanks for the photos!). It sounds like you had an amazing experience and were surrounded by a field of great runners.

You and I have almost identical schedules, just on opposite sides of the country; I'm running Bull Run Run 50 miler on Apr. 12.

I do hope your drive home was without event.<BR/>Loved doing the long section with no aid, it does make you reach deep to get through. I actually didn't have to take any water from the creeks and had a bit too much left over when I hit the pavement. <BR/><BR/>I think I actually missed the women's record by a couple minutes. <BR/><BR/>Take care, and Alan and I will both see you at Diablo!<BR/><BR/>BevAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-4112884810433574792008-03-27T17:51:00.000-07:002008-03-27T17:51:00.000-07:00Nice job Scott!

I know what you mean about maybe secretly wanting it to be as tough as possible, but I wouldn't actually say that, since that would be tempting fate. I swear I don't really want that! ;) <BR/>I may crawl out of hibernation mode to run the marathon division at Diablo, so I look forward to seeing you there.<BR/>Love the bunny ears!

Throwing up and finishing 11th, good stuff! I, too, ran out of water, shortly to be chronicled in my report and wished I could have thrown up and finished no where near 11th! I especially appreciated your thoughts on feeling like crashing a party at your first ultra. This was only my 4th and I felt like I knew a lot of folks, great atmosphere!Tony Overbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639919141230897359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-8079377952653313422008-03-27T14:56:00.000-07:002008-03-27T14:56:00.000-07:00Perhaps I should run an ultra with less sleep.

That 13.5 mile stretch must have been brutal for a lot of people, especially coming back.<BR/><BR/>It was great to read about you running with Bev last weekend. We had Alan compete in these parts at the same time (he was visiting his folks, who live down South). Alan was extremely nice. A great ambassador for you Left Coast runners!Dave - Atlanta Trailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870521955679174148noreply@blogger.com
