    Congratulations, Docket!  Sounds like a pretty brutal race.  Heat, pounding sun, black flies, sand in shoes, tough dunes, river crossings.  Can't say I envy that!  LOL

      Nice work!  That's a lot of asthma symptom free miles...maybe you are on to something!  I've heard 50 milers can cure asthma Joking.  Congrats on the first ultra...definitely a nice addition to an already impressive running career.

          To a Bad Ass such as D though that reads as; pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers and blue diamonds.  It just made her hungry - lol!

                I hate flies ... that is all I have to say about that one.

                 

                Awesome job on a brutal day and course. Congrats on the first (of many) ultras!

                Train smart ... race smarter.

                    Damn, D you are definitely off to the races.  You've got some kind of endurance gene that I just definitely do not have.  That's a long jaunt from the corn cob / watermelon wars!

                          Thanks, guys.  I'm still pumped.  And Banshee's RR is not really helping, bahaha.

                           

                          redrum, I've know about my endurance for quite a while.  So long as I run slow enough that my asthma does not rise, I can run for hours.  This race just proved it, ha.

                            Congratulations, D.  What an adventure that must have been.  I can't imagine running an ultra through terrain and conditions like that, something right out of an Indiana Jones movie.

                             

                            Great job being tough the whole way.

                                I think on our Fast Company race schedule, it says this is the "DTF" Endurance Run.

                                Which made me laugh every time I saw it, because I have the brain of a 13 year old.
