Finished


OK, I finished my 50 miler yesterday and now I'm back home. I had a great time with many highs and lows during the event. I'm pretty tired right now so I will gather my thoughts and get a race report together very soon. I did want to give a shout out to Clea for getting me through the first lap and offering tons of encouragement through the event. I was also able to have a pre race dinner with her, Mark and John, and they gave me all kinds of advice to get me through my first 50 miler. I'm already planning when I can do a 100 miler in the future!!

I totally admire you... 50 miles is such an awesome accomplishment! And somehow you updated your Facebook status after the first loop - quite the multi-tasker.
