Dear dea contessa francesca, bravissimo fantastissimo for your powerful running in the 12 hour Redmond Watershed Run. Everyone who had done it before seemed to be agreeing that the temperatures into the 90's had them coming up about two of the five mile laps short so you probably ran the equivalent 100K even before you do your real one on 5/31. As usually being the slowest runner in these things, it was a new experience for me too to be running with others on the 5.466/0.72 two lap format. Maybe we can get some more boomers out for the next one. They are just too much fun not to. ps - did you hear how enke did on Cougar Mountain. I did it last year and, being way steeper than at Redmond, it was just as hard but in a different way. Let's tell her to run a couple of miles with us at the 100K and then go all the way!

Wow! You are amazing!!
