Faster Than Your Couch!
Looks like Sandy and Chris Gerber are still going strong at Ouray!
Kilian Jornet has finished already, and Diana Finkel has lost a lot of time that she had gained in the first half to Darcy Africa.
I am excited to see what will happen throughout the day later!
Run for fun.
Kilian showed he is the best for sure ....
Go Sandy and Chris!
I hope Chris is still going?
He either ran straight through Burrows, or dropped.
Chris Gerber still going strong, working his way through.
Sandy working to get it done.

Excellent! Thanks for the updates, Couch. Go Chris! Go Sandy!
Running is dumb.
Sandy and Chris are both beating Dakota Jones!!!!!
Still plugging away on the course, last check in for both was Sherman Aid (about 27 or 28 miles from the finish)
Good luck!

Sandy dropped at mile 85, Chris finished.
Huge congrats, Chris.
Sad for Sandy.
Hi Everyone, as FTYC mentioned I didn't finish. Bummer, but I'm ok with it. I knew I wasn't going to get to the next aid station before the cutoff, so I decided to stay where I was. Technically you can't stop at Maggie's Gulch (85 mile point), but there were a few other dropping runners that they knew were on their way so they said it was ok.
Ive got some RRs to write...

I can't wait to hear about it, Sandy. Sorry for the DNF, but I have certainly dropped at an AS where you "technically" could not drop, too. But it wasn't nearly as tough of a race as HR.

Sandy, great effort!
Hope you are well (no injuries), and you can get 'em next time!
Thanks guys. I do have that Bighorn finish 3 weeks ago, which is a qualifier that will allow me to apply for the 2015 and 2016 Hardrocks. I'll go back and get it, (if I get through the lottery).
Other than a couple of pretty big blisters (I think from running a wet/muddy Bighorn and a wet/muddy 85 at Hardrock), I'm feeling ok. Just a little bit sore from using different climbing/decent muscles that I'm not used to using.
