Yay RA'ers! I hope Buzzie's foot is treating her well.

12 Hour update: http://northcoast24.org/news/
TY - James dropped it seems.
12-hour update. Some of the positions have changed. Some impressive mileage at the half-way mark, but the race hasn't even really begun yet. Can't wait to see what happens through the night and into the morning!
Left the park just after midnight. I don't have much to report as the RD was busy with manual lap counting. I was able to get lap counts for Moran and Gardner, both whom were through 106 laps at 12:06 a.m. (Approx 95 miles in 15h 6m). That appears to be on pace for the record (145.28)
Moran looked really steady and it seems Gardner was feeding off her. I wonder if they can work together to press towards that 145.
On the men's side, I have no lap counts. But Olsen looked fast and steady. Arbona moving steady, too.
Weather-wise, it was windy through the day and it settled down by 10:00 p.m. At midnight, wind died down and great temps with a bright moon.
As far as the timing, what I heard is the electronic system failed at the start and they've been manually counting since lap 1.
Let's hope they post an 18-hour update.
Thank you so much for the update!
18 hour updates are up. We got us a race between Moran and Gardner!
Buzzie is doing fantastic. She is in 5th place. Go Liz go!
Not on site this morning, but I did get this bit of info this morning from the RD at 7:30 a.m. local:
"Sabrina just passed Connie. And Sabrina looks intense and fresh. She is moving now."
For the time I was there last night, Buzzie looked terrific and moving very well! Go Liz!
It's over.
I must have results now!!!!
(Aren't trail runners supposed to be mellow and patient? When do I get that?)
Results please! I'm so antsy!
Glad you went back out for a bit, Murphy. And thanks for the update.
So, did Sabrina take the win? Over 145? What about Olson!. It was possible at 18 hrs for him to nitch a record too. Can't wait to hear.
