Pineland Farms Trail Challenge Was Indeed a Challenge

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
