Susan, thanks for posting about your Zumbro experience. I’ve signed up to run it this year (2011) and really wanted to find out more about the course/conditions from a runner. Very helpful and entertaining report!

Thanks for the feedback. Who’s blog sent you my way? Are you thinking of running Zumbro 100?

I was directed to your site today from another blog. You have great talents in both running and telling the tale afterward! Thanks for sharing!

I remember seeing you…must have been ultrabrained at the time. I thought you all were going in the wrong direction.
I read about the Wild Duluth when Andy posted it to the list. At the time I thought the 50k I’m working on would be the same weekend, but now it’s not. Still, it sounds like a lot of pavement. How do you get from the trail to the Canal Bridge without running lots of the hard stuff?

Sounds like you came through back to back 100′s in great form! I swept the course in daylight – there were a few spots that must have been pretty interesting running in the dark.

C’mon back for some loopless running at Superior this September or the inaugural Wild Duluth 50/100K in October!

PS> Just so you know, Larry is already planning a different course for Zumbro next year to get rid of the flat part

Thank you! Awesome picture of you in Ultrarunning. You ran Umstead a little faster than us, so you deserve some Gilligan time.

Any suggested topics for future posts?

You and Rob looked great the whole race. I was hoping to get a chance to say hi after the race (I’m in the red cap in your top photo), but, finishing last, not many were still there. It was only supposed to be 35 degrees that night, but it got to 19; no wonder we were so cold!

Congratulations Susan!

It is amazing that you and Rob were able to power through another 100 miler less than 6 days after Umstead! WOW! I could barely keep up with our lazy dog, Gilligan on a leisurely Sunday hike/walk this past weekend.

Take good care of your feet and relax a little:-)
