seems to get stronger. I hope, I hope, I hope.

Said women comprised the US 100K team last year, won gold and set a bunch if records.
My runner, Terry Sentinella, just came in to MB, 18 minutes behind nominal 24-hour pace. But those pace numbers are BS; he has plenty of time. Thing is, he's cramping. Could be a long night. But he's tough, and very experienced with heat. I'm optimistic.
Olson just checked in at Auburn Lake Trails, 85.2, still going...
Good luck with your runner -- always thought pacing was more stressful than running.
Another woman of note -- Anna Piskorska, Michigan Bluff, 6:24 p.m.
I go out to pace, and this thread stops?? It was brutal out there, hit 117 in the canyons. 2nd hottest WS ever.
Tim Olsen won in 15:17. Pam Smith won women's in 18:37. Amazing times for these conditions.
I'm a little trashed just from pacing. Awards coming up soon. Still damn HOT in Auburn.

My friends both finished. One in 25:30 and the other in 29:44. My teammate finished in 27:25. Super happy for all them but especially my 25:30 friend as he's crewing me at BR100. Can't beat having such a beast on my team while I'm out there!

Thanks. Yes, he finished, but he had a rough day. Planned 22-24, ran 26:23, lots of cramping and puking. Good thing is, this was grand slam race #1, and finishing is what counts. But I think he's going to be beat up for bit now. Traci is also a slammer, ran 26, was very unhappy. Both of them were on or ahead of 24-hour pace until about halfway through.
Any one with this quote has my vote. Am also pulling for Mike Morton, seems like a nice guy and...Go Army!

I told Pam that Mac had told me this; I think he's in trouble now. She was mortified. Oops. Probably best not to mention that I propagated it farther.
Mike finished 3rd, setting a new masters record.
I talked to Pam a bit after awards today about how she did it. Her win was definitely not an accident. She was on a mission, and dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's. It was pretty much gonna be her day.
Nice!

At mile # 62 Forrest Hill School
Olson ~ 9:27
Krar ~ 9:44
Morton ~ 9:46
Sharman ~ 9:49
At finish
Olson 15:17:27
Krar 15:22:05
Morton 15:45:21
Sharman 16:20:25
From 62 - finish
Olson ~ 5:50:27
Krar ~ 5:38:05
Morton ~ 5:59:21
Sharman ~ 6:31:25
I would like to say Krar should have started his kick a little earlier than mile #62
Reality ~ Olsen ran 6:30 pace the last 1.3 miles and Krar 8:31 ... I think someone might have been able to catch Olson, but they were not going to pass him or out kick him.

Lips zipped.
However, I read it aloud to my husband and you know how husbands are...

What a day. Hot hot hot. Krar and Harrison made flagstaff proud. I got so dehydrated I was in blankets shivering at devil's thumb. After a long recovery finally got back to it and finished in 28.

"everyone else is treating this like it's a pussy parade".
So we can't use this for a forum title I guess.... I was seriously planning to do so.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
