Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run Crewing Report (Read 237 times)

    Fair Warning!  This report is long.  Very long.  After careful review and many revisions, I just could not bring myself to shorten it.  Too much went on that weekend.  Too many experiences were had.  To leave any detail out would've been denying what a truly wondrous and remarkable experience it all was.

     

    So sit back with a cup of coffee, a bottle of beer, a glass of wine - whatever floats your boat - and (hopefully) enjoy.

      Great job of capturing the experience, Leslie!  I particularly liked... Four-letter words were flying like the mosquitoes.

        Good read, thanks for writing it.
