Thanks for another captivating RR. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, “both of you are amazing.” A pleasure to follow your exploits, and I am constantly envious.

Susan,

I enjoyed your race report–very detailed and descriptive. I had planned to crew Stu the whole race even if we went over the time limit but he sent me on my way after 20 miles since we were getting close to the cutoffs. I felt like I was playing catchup after that and then all those wrong turns which you pointed out added a couple of miles , especially when I went well past the turn before Moore Haven in the pouring rain and had to come all the way back. I am directionally challenged! Thank you, Karen for redirecting me after Clewiston. I would have doubled back back if Karen hadn’t pointed out that I was headed in the right direction, just needed to climb the side of the levy. I ran some of the last miles with Kathleen Wheeler. It was tough with the wind and cold at night. The wind didn’t die down until about 9am. Congratulations to you both on your finish! See you at the next race…

Great story!You’re always so positive, you almost make it look too easy! Are you fast forwarding through the intense pain or the low mental points, or you’re at a stage where you react early enough to smooth such lows?

It was a lot of fun to share it with Karen. She did a fantastic job and it was a treat to look forward to seeing her at the aid stations and in between. Couldn’t have done it without her!

Don’t worry, I didn’t think you were being rude. I have to get in my own zone (get my stride working right) at the start of every race too. At least I had Rob and Karen to talk to. My hat’s off to anyone like you that can run that race without company other than an iPod!

I still can’t figure out how you can keep track of all the details on such a long adventure. As a dad though, it was fun to see you all together on this adventure. Thanks to all three of you.

that guy in headphones and white shirt was me. hope i wasn’t being rude. i just have to get into my ‘zone’ as that gets mind numbing after several hours of the exact same thing.
