Pineland Farms WAS a challenge, but the Par-taaah was NOT. At Cranberry Island Ultra I believe it is the other way around!!! Surviving the party/celebration is the challenge, getting through the run is just a journey to GET to PARTY!! "Maine-iac" --Previous Message-- : Roger and Ned, : : Way to hang tough-good job, both of you! : The Pineland course is extremely tough-I ran : the 50k last year and my quads were knotted : up by the 17 mile mark. The downhills were : brutal. : : Look forward to seeing you guys at the GCI : ultras this summer. When it comes to post : race activities/festivities the GCI ultras : can't be beat. The best part is getting to : hang out with all the other runners post : race. Most other events everybody just : clears out and goes home-at the GCI's you : finish running an ultra then put on a party : hat. I really enjoyed talking to everyone : last year. Wouldn't miss it. : : Congrats, again, guys! : : JoeCrow : : : --Previous Message-- : Gary, : : I see a post by you regarding the Pineland : Farms Ultra. I should have listened. This : was a tough race. I was spent by mile 30 and : thought this might be a DNF. The : organizations was great, the trails were : good, the weather was great, and I ran well : for quite awhile. Is was a good learning : experience that I will probably sit out in : future years. I was more spent form this : race than any other I have completed. : Luckily my brother Steve helped me through : the last 11 miles as a pacer. : : 8:09+ for 50 miles 11th place overall. I'll : stick to road marathons and leave the trails : for someone else. I also see Nedicus at the : completion of the race. He ran 50k and I : never see him on the trails. Not much chance : we did anything in the team awards as I : think we may have been a team of 2. Nedicus : was bummed that the keg ran dry and shortly : after he left a couple others went on tap. : Nedicus was longing for the post race party : at the CGI. Sorry Nedicus. You had it right : about the Cranberry Ultra. It is the only : one I am interested in this summer. : : Roger : : :
