I was able to cobble together some of my race with your post. I don't know if I ever told you, but I was the one who gave you your timing chip back. I believe Keith was the one who spotted it on the bike path.

I'll be sure to share my monthly totals at the end of this month. I'm on track to run my highest mileage year ever. I guess that's the best way (as long as I don't injure myself) to go into Big's. I'm pretty sure you'll have a spot at Big's; looking forward to running with you there on Team USA!Beast Coast Trail Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958417394273622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833727365753660817.post-42238344528115549422022-06-11T11:20:41.012-07:002022-06-11T11:20:41.012-07:00Thank you Shawn!

I had a great time running and chatting with you when our paces matched up, although you were finishing the bulk of your yards way faster than me, especially that first night. You seemed like you were relaxed and not showing any signs of struggling that I could tell while I was your neighbor for 40ish hours. I definitely thought you would be a contender in the final group of runners. I can't help but think that if you didn't have Western States coming up that you would have stayed in the race longer. Enjoy your run at Western States; I'm sure it will be an amazing experience! I'll be following along from NJ!

That's the thing about backyards, for better or worse, you never know when things are going to take a turn for you or anyone left. It's a completely different game than a set distance race.

Also, a huge thank you for providing the Long Haul Sports Nutrition (https://longhaulsports.com/) at Capital. That stuff works and I never got tired of the flavor, even after 60 hours! Bravo! If you're still recruiting for Team Long Haul, I'd be very interested! <br /><br />Looking forward to running some yards with you on Team USA this October!Beast Coast Trail Runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958417394273622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833727365753660817.post-48199459455760785512022-06-09T14:36:52.403-07:002022-06-09T14:36:52.403-07:00Epic write up for an epic race.

I want to see you monthly running totals with a row added for May. You beat your monthly total miles in just one weekend! I hope your recovery is going well and I truly hope to run with you again this October.

I may be inflating the epicness of your victory a little, when I tell it to people, but I don't think so-- you not only outlasted such a strong field, but you did it with no crew, very little supplies, while sleeping on the ground, and what seemed like only a cooler full of coconut water! I'll be cheering for you at Bigs!Shawn McDermottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833727365753660817.post-10201766545127089472022-06-08T06:11:31.178-07:002022-06-08T06:11:31.178-07:00Great recap!
