You looked really fresh climbing up to Auburn Dam, just like you were out for a casual run.<br /><br />Thanks for the shout out. It was so much fun, I think because of the amazing running community- so enthusiastic and helpful. <br /><br />CynthiaDrs.

And as a true display of sportsmanship, you fought out to the very end - never slowing down and got me worried if Sean was able to keep up the pace or collapse. Once we were ahead, I told Sean, "Don't let up. He's right behind us!" It was dark and I didn't know which way to turn ahead, but it was one of the memorable moments in the race.<br /><br />At mile 77, Sean threw up a waterfall at Hazel Bluff - a colorful concoction of green stuff, chicken noodle and then the red stuff which we first thought was blood, but it turned 5hr energy drink. At that point, we lost about 10 min and lost hopes of catching you. Sean started shivering soon after and that got me scared too. But, when we started running, he started feeling better and we were running much faster than before. Seeing you coming back from Mtn Lion Knoll gave us a glimpse of hope of catching you, but it took a long time after that to catch you!Toshi Moshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412900267091095292noreply@blogger.com
