I'd still like to run a solid trail 100 closer to my expectations but I'm pleasantly surprised that I still had so much fun without hitting time goals. But being out there longer and dealing with the unexpected makes me even more fired up about wanting to run Hardrock.mike_hinterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817872376341966540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-37245722752297570532012-10-02T17:12:56.501-07:002012-10-02T17:12:56.501-07:00Truly epic.

Very few folks would have the cojones to stick it out with so many bonus miles and drama, but it's no surprise you pulled it off. <br /><br />Congrats!Kieran McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606919516884153997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-91708745357749107462012-09-21T11:12:31.469-07:002012-09-21T11:12:31.469-07:00Thanks guys...I'm going to propose to Slush th...Thanks guys...I'm going to propose to Slush that we start a radio program called "Stitch 'n Slush."

In my day, it was more about "I dunno, but ... somehow ... I finished."<br /><br />Your clear-headed running has been an asset, even when logistics have threatened to phuque you up. I know....<br /><br />Your achievement was pretty amazing. I'm breathing a sigh of relief that -- after the LH -- navigational errors are probably NOT entirely MY fault ;-)<br /><br />You were well prepared, WELL supported, and -- despite a pretty grievous injury -- did phenomenally well.<br /><br />I haven't watched your running in a while, but ... am living, vicariously through your writing, and -- truth be told -- it's nearly as fun.<br /><br />Well done, my friend, and ... great job on picking your crew. To them ... much homage is owed !!!<br /><br />And ... apropos of nothing ... can you, now, be "Stitch" to your counterpart, Slush ??NBeenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035683527723872105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593777137946937666.post-56582691425280770872012-09-20T15:48:34.717-07:002012-09-20T15:48:34.717-07:00Congrats on sticking it out even when things went ...Congrats on sticking it out even when things went south early.
