Nice job, and congratulations.

Only advice I have is something I'm sure you learned ~ Take care of the feet immediately once you notice something.

Good job. Those trails looked sweet! I'm happy you had a good time and will continue to enjoy the ultra distances. It can be addictive...so I hear.

Congratulations on your first. It sounds like you did a good job, you beat your goal by quite a bit. The pictures were great. Did you stop to take them or snap while running?

Good work on a nice Kansas run. Seems like lots of us joining the first 50k finishers club here in the last couple months...inspiring all around.

AT-Runner - Thanks! I definitely learned that after this run. Next time I feel a rock in my shoe, it's getting taken out as quick as possible.

Kelly - Thanks! Those trails are probably my favorite in the area, at least for longer distances.

Daydreamer1 - Thanks! I snapped the majority of the pictures while running.

wcrunner2 - Thanks!

Chnaiur - Thanks!

Nice race. Congratulations. I'd like to know a little more about your thoughts on Tailwind. I have never heard anything bad about it; the price doesn't seem outrageous. I think I may give it a shot.
