Such a huge effort, congrats on having that much grit. This was my first attempt to run 100. I will be back, not necessarily TARC 100, but I intend to give the distance another shot.

I witnessed the destruction. I witnessed 25% of the field drop after loop 1. I witnessed more than 50 gone after two. I witnessed just how hard it was to start the race at night and have to deal with that energy and mud-sucking mud that slowed everybody down by HOURS. Good for you for continuing on. Your race sounded exactly like mine, only I was the last person out on the course. They yanked me at 95.5. But our races were identical otherwise. Kudos to you for being such a warrior, and be kind to yourself. If 100's were easy, everybody would be running them like 5K and marathons. A 100 miler is 4 times (roughly) the distance but 100 times the anguish and energy required. Hold your head up high. I demand it.<br />--ThorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993408154518559194.post-47830263154678309202013-06-25T05:56:24.829-07:002013-06-25T05:56:24.829-07:00I have so much respect for you! And feel for you ...I have so much respect for you! And feel for you so much too. You are so incredibly tough, and I'm very glad you can look back and say you made the right decision, even with all of the "what ifs". You are a very smart runner and I think the major "what if" that knocked you out was completely out of your control. Even though it's the not the result you wanted, I hope you can keep your head up high and be proud of the incredible feat you accomplished.beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13098454558956470573noreply@blogger.com
