I quit at Tyee and saw you coming through looking strong. Your story reminds me very much of my experience last year. Like you I felt terrific coming into Deep Creek and like you I had a lot of hallucinations up on top of loop 2.<BR/>Congratulations on a outstanding accomplishment!<BR/><BR/>Joe L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548471134501874337.post-22125445532264297462008-09-18T01:52:00.000-07:002008-09-18T01:52:00.000-07:00Hey Mark, congratulations on such a great run at P...Hey Mark, congratulations on such a great run at Plain.

I was heading up with my buddy as you were heading down. I was using the starting out slow strategy as well, but we did not fair as well as you did. I was very impressed when I saw your finishing time.

I was able to see you all start, drive to Cle Elum to run the 50K and return in time to make cheese sandwiches with Michelle.<BR/> I've run parts of the course (Deer to Cloan and the out and back section on loop 2), so I admire anyone even attempting the run. As another over 50 runner, it's good to hear that slow and steady still makes the top 5 in some ultras.<BR/>Brag away for a while, you did an amazing thing and now hold a very tough course record for over 50. R&R and best luck in your runnning.Steve Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092729864129961958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548471134501874337.post-22231889697445928042008-09-17T12:14:00.000-07:002008-09-17T12:14:00.000-07:00Mark,Way to go.

From my current reading, the most appropriate parallel seems to me to be from <I>The Return of the King</I>:<BR/><BR/>"He is bold, more bold than many deem; for in these days men are slow to believe that a captain can be wise and learned in the scrolls of lore and song, as he is, and yet a man of hardihood and swift judgement in the field. But such is Faramir. . . ."--BeregondDavid Haddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228599724811008580noreply@blogger.com
