So, let's see.

Runs her second marathon in April, 2009. Leaving me in the dust at M20ish and qualifying for Boston.

Runs her first ultra (a 50k) in September, 2009.

Runs 54ish miles on not-hard trail in May, 2010.

Runs the White River 50 Miler, in the mountains, in July 2010.

Does this in August 2010:

For those who might not quite grasp the significance, this is a hard course. Through the mountains. Including about 11 hours of what is known as "night". It was also kind of chilly. And while that banner might say "start", I assure you it was the finish.

She doesn't even look dirty.

WOOHOO

My hats off to you. Gotta put it back on so the bald head doesn't burn though.

Seriously though great job.

Sara did a great job, but one thing that's bothering me...both of her feet are off the ground! Hasn't anyone told her about the ultra shuffle?

Something about that finish line that helps ya fly in even after 27 hours on feet.

GREAT job Sara!
