    Nice job. I talked to Laz and he said you were running really well into the night.

      Nice job. I talked to Laz and he said you were running really well into the night.

       

      Laz was there for a while volunteering and for Medical checks. Nice to have an ER doc (with ultra running experience) around when you might need him.  He tried to stop one guy and get him to take a break.  The guy wanted to hit 100  miles and after he did, he fell over at the AS and hit his side pretty good. He was done after that and never saw him on the course again.

        WOW!!!   and so impressed with Jess...109!!!  Took me a while to work up the urge to read a RR about running in circles for 48 hours but it was a good read.  You guys are awesome and you are so lucky to have each other.  I just love your wife!

          So do I, she's a keeper.  To think she got into this by being my crew (like Jo does for Kelly). I told her to try it and she was hooked. There was another husband and wife out there running the 24hr and they sound like they have similar rules to running as we do.  1) never run back toward her 2) never ask how you are doing 3) never change my clothes when I get back to the car until she's there etc.

           

          I saw Trailfest wants to do a race in Northern California next year. Run trails along the redwoods. Looks like anther trip, maybe.

              Yes.  He did his first ultra in 1978.

               

              DW says she's doing 24hr next year, but I might do 48hr and give it another shot. I learned a lot and wrote down a lot of things, might be good to see if what I wrote down works.
