OK Mark It is written in stone!!!!!!!! I WILL be there!! Ken, I cannot believe anyone would do less than 2 miles in a race like that. 4 miles is bad enough!!!!! Even with a marginaly good excuse.

Sent my entry in today (48 hour version - I entered the last 2 days). I am being rather optimistic I guess but I need motivation to come back. I am upset that I purposely did 4 miles at the FANS race (the mini lap and one full lap) with the intention of finishing LAST on the list which will drive me next year. There were 2 runners (one I knew) who did the mini first lap and bagged it at 1.6 miles. I couldn't finish last even when I tried to! KE In a message dated 6/4/2012 4:56:03 P.M.

But hey - isn't this race all about ME? I logged 4.08 miles. Walking of course. I also walked 3.5 hours as a night patrol judge but that doesn't count. I am not a lightweight you know! In fact at the weigh-in I was 201.5 pounds (20 over my race weight so I asked them to create a Clydesdale division! I could be a contender! Hopefully back in training Wednesday before all of my pants are too tight... If you can't open the Excel Spreadsheet, i may be able to open, copy and paste. Mark Hellentha's friends did well. One of them had back problems (David James) after leading much of the day in a very hotly contested men's 24 hour (at about 75 miles, there were 6 runners within one lap of each other (2.4 miles per lap). Joe Fejes, winner of the 72 hour Across the Years race, ran terrific finishing 2nd and he was fighting a little stomach issue off an on. First woman (local and minimal experience) was a machine at 128 miles. Ken PS. Anyone wanting to congratulate deb should send it to sistervz@xxxxxxxxx as she is not on the big mail list.

I hope you managed to get home without incident (if Marathon Stupid is scary, Ultramarathon Stupid is positively dangerous!) and that you're managing to tend your wounds successfully. Ease up, be good to yourself, and keep repeating The Goal is to Become an Old Runner. And you can define 'old' any way you want. I wanted to get the preliminary results into your hands as quickly as possible. We'll be continuing our comparison of the direct entry and lap counting systems until we're convinced we've eradicated any errors that might have wormed their way into the numbers, and then the official results will be posted and sent off to UltraRunning etc etc etc. If you see something here that just doesn't make sense please bring it to our attention and we'll get out the fine-tooth comb and set to work. Once we're convinced our work is done, we'll order results tiles and ship those off to you sometime in July, most likely. Some things you just don't want to rush. Congratulations again to you all for putting yourselves to the test and giving it everything you had. We couldn't have bought better weather, and this one will live in memory as the way all races should be. We'd also like to thank everyone who went the extra distance to garner pledges to support the FANS scholarship fund. We have 14 young people graduating from high school this year, and we know your efforts will translate into changed lives. Til next time, take care, coddle yourself, and bask in the glow!
