Just the other day I was talking to a friend and telling them that there are people out there that make what I do look like child’s play. You are one of those people! Glad to have found your blog!

Hmm, I wonder if I could making crewing for ultras a part-time job..

Either way, rockstar job Mark! So glad I was there for it!

Oh, sure, Mark, just farm us out…

LOL, no, I’m happy to help if another runner needs some crew support!

Thanks Anji! And a BIG CNGRATS to you too on your win!! Very impressive. Ashley will be at Umstead, along with my crew chief extraordinaire Katie. If you thought Ashley was amazing by herself, just wait until you see both of them in action together. I’m really not sure how I got so lucky. I’m sure they’d be willing to help other runners out a bit, considering they’ll have a LOT of time on their hands

Congrats on a great race! I want to hire Ashley as my crew for Umstead! We watched her and she was amazing!! Cheers to both of you!

Heh, it looks like we were commenting on each other’s blogs at about the same time! I think I remember reading about your 50k, you won it right? I suppose I should get around to running another 50k, considering my ‘official PR’ is 5 hours. I think the training for the ultras definitely has a positive impact on the shorter race performances, at least it did for me last year. Which ones are you planning on?

I’m really really glad I found your blog! I did my first 50K this past spring and have 3 more planned for this year. I’m really wanting to lowere my 50K PR, but haha, it’s what you hit the halfway mark of in your 100K!!!!! Awesome job gutting through it out there, and CONGRATS on 2nd place! I look forward to more of your blog entries now that I have you bookmarked on my page. Run Happy!

Strictly gels, chews, and the coconut water/pineapple juice/coke/occasional regular water. Oh, and at one point about 20 miles in I choked down a handful of pretzels. It worked pretty well I think, no stomach issues and fatigue wasn’t THAT significant, considering how poorly I’ve trained since Stone Cat.

THANKS!
