And 90 minutes to get down? I tried the descent leg a few weeks ago, and relatively fresh, it took me 2 hours. You must have been leaving screech marks on the trails!<br /><br />Way to go!<br /><br />CynthiaDrs.

That course looks fairly brutal, and I can't imagine running that distance, on that course, in that kind of heat. Way to go, and much continued success to you!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185580660442865724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19376369.post-58785749331454162592009-04-24T17:01:00.000-07:002009-04-24T17:01:00.000-07:00Another great achievement Rick.

Your report gives the reader a good look/view of all the excitement and drama of the race, coming from a runner who was in the thick of the fight for top 10 honors. How can a new runner like me stop at 30k when I read a great story like this?Bonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09477811765307738983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19376369.post-43251223151038437232009-04-24T13:46:00.000-07:002009-04-24T13:46:00.000-07:00You did the last 8 miles in 90 minutes?! Wow. Yo...You did the last 8 miles in 90 minutes?! Wow. You put at least 25 minutes on me through that stretch alone.<br /><br />I really admire the way you set out to race these distances as opposed to just surviving them. For the most part, you seem to be having very good results in doing so, so I know you must be working your tail off in training to get your body ready for those kinds of efforts.<br Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588564145315857856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19376369.post-65572708440476921482009-04-24T13:42:00.000-07:002009-04-24T13:42:00.000-07:00I know we have talked since this report..but what ...I know we have talked since this report..but what a freaking race....man I have a long way to go.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12782182419685153100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19376369.post-43408321630085733072009-04-24T12:35:00.000-07:002009-04-24T12:35:00.000-07:00Wow Rick, that was a very impressive race you ran!...Wow Rick, that was a very impressive race you ran!
