          Saturday race was a bit over 6 hours because they let us finish the 2 mile loop. 2nd place male, 3rd overall. It was my 7th ultra and the first one where I ran the entire time, no walking.

            How'd Rocket City go?  I got my first BQ there in 2005...

              It was a very good event. A little chilly, but they are experts at putting on a marathon. I would absolutely run it again.
