I want to chime in and add my appreciation for the event this weekend. I am still stiff, still excited and buoyed from the experience; maybe more now that I've had some sleep and can think clearly. I really enjoyed the whole day, right from getting up at 5 to make the boat out until rowing out to philippe's raft at 1:30 in the morning.
the weather was not great for running a fast time but like the quote from bowerman said on the telephone pole by my house "there is no such thing as bad weather, just soft people". I was inspired by everyone; Joe, Dave N, Roger, Dave G, Darien always had a huge smile when I saw him, Richard, mike, Ron, Hogan, and of course Gabrielle.
Hogan, Riley and Laura were all a big help and were great to hang out with later.
If anyone is free August 9th we're having our mile time trial in the mud flats. It lasts less than 10 min. but those ten min. hurt more than any ten in an ultra ever have for me. That said then we get the lobster cooker back out and have another party...
