Boulder 100!

This was after the 3rd lap ready to run another but also my down moment was coming after this.

You think my down time could've been from the 2 pieces of pizza & a choc milk at 70 degrees? NAH!

Still looking good at 64 miles after lap 9!

Here is 71.40 miles into a 100 miler man i am looking HOT!

Well the run went well until 71.40 miles where my left knee started to bother me. It was 14 hours into the run & I had a great race until then. My race had started off way to fast & I had a very bad moment during the 4th lap from miles 22 to 28. I walked & got my legs back & was able to begin running again. The laps went by fast after that until mile 70 where my knee began hurting I hobbled into the finish of lap 10. After telling the race director I was finished I was told that I was in first place at the time. I was very stunned by this but I think I made a good decision by dropping out & chalked it up to a very good 71.40 mile training run. I made a promise to my wife that I would never drop out of another race unless I had a broken bone or was unconscious. The race was a very good teaching day for me, I learned that not to go out to fast & keep to a very good plan & 100 miles is still 100 miles, a very long race. I ran with another runner named Martin Fagan & he ran the best race of the day & won the 100 miler. Well a couple days afterwards I am a little sore & my two big toenails are going to fall off but hey just two more charms on my toenail necklace. After they fall off then i'll take a updated photo & post it. Well everyone be good & have fun & remember "That that does not kill you, makes you stronger"!

Thanks Stephen!
