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

: 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.
