    I was snooping around on Real Endurance, looking at some results.  Guess who's name popped up as the winner of the 12 Hours of Hostelity in Georgia?

      Thanks! I also hold the course record. 

      Strange things can happen at very small races.

        I run some small races and the only "funny" thing that every happened to me was 2nd in my AG. Congrats!

          I hope they submit results to Ultra Running, because there are fewer cooler things than seeing your name followed by the !

           

          Good job!

                Yeah, I was going to quit at 40 miles but the RD said I was in the lead so I couldn't. 

                I won a pair of Salomons, they just arrived today!

                Robert, I have begged the RD to submit it to UR. That will be suitable for framing, I hope they spell my name right, though.

                  I agree.  If they list you as Professor, that will be a shame.

                      Now that Anton Krupicka has entered the Tarawera Ultra my chances of another win have diminished significantly.

                              So, does anyone know how I can get in touch with Tanya Harding?
