I’m just getting back into ultras after some time off. I’ve not done a 100 yet, but I will! I’m crazy like that. Like me some punishment. Love the writing. I’ll be back!

I hope you are feeling much better now and that tests/observations show you’re back in balance and healthy for whatever your next challenge is.

Thanks for your account of a race that didn’t go your way. I met you briefly after Devils Thumb…my race didn’t go to pot til Cal1…this was my first ultra that was a “fail” for me, as I walked the last 25 miles puking all the way. Your comment at the end…sometimes we win, sometimes we fail…getting back out there is important hit home. Great write-up!

Glad you are ok, do not beat yourself up at all. You will be back out there smarter and stronger, and still faster than JB!

But this was something else entirely. I totally agree on the pigtails or I am loving the double braid look. I am thinking about TRT- but want to run it for the right reasons and need to know I can dig deep when I need to- so thinking and thinking. Looking at some fall races too…

But they have that special draw…TRT100? Solid report of fails. Now to fix them, one by one…and to wear pigtails next time!
