Forgot to say way to go for your DW.  That's great she's running and she did very well.

danke, I'm very proud of her; she's only been running about 6 months, but I think the trail running bug has bit her pretty good

she signed up for a 30k on the 22nd (it'll be my first 50k), she's nervous about it, but I keep telling her she'll be just fine

Nice time on your first PDD!  That course is brutal fun.  I skipped on the margarita too, but was glad for the water at the top since I bit the dust just as we started the climb on University Mountain, spilled all of my water, and was covered in blood & dirt when I finally got to the top.  Sounds like you had a great run, and congrats on the awesome finish time.  If you're ever in Missoula again, let me know--I'll meet you, your wife, and your mustache at the trail head.  

It was really nice to meet you  ouch!!!!  despite all the adversity, looks like you had a great finish as well- congrats

I'll definitely take you up on that (I should have let you know we were hiking to Stuart Peak on Monday, next time)
