Even if you're from Florida, 96 degrees is HOT.
In 2005, Andy was one of the very few Floridians to "buckle", by finishing this race in less than 24 hours. He didn't buckle this year, and when the "official" times are listed, you won't see his name, because you got to finish in less than 30 hours. This journey was epic, though. Andy has struggled more in his running this year than, I think, in any year since he started ultra events. He didn't quit, he just ran out of time. It looks like Andy was the very last person to cross the line.

Agreed. Andy went the entire 100 miles on the WS course. In my book, that is a finish! Considering all he went through over the last year...I'd call it a VICTORY!
I think your brother is AWESOME. I followed as much as I could and was amazed at how well he did. He finished, and that speaks volumes to me.
You know how tough he is, Star. He called and said he fought time from the very first station. Temperatures got up to 103 in the valley. Even his pacer ended up in a medical tent, and he had to finish by himself. He said they cheered him wildly when he got in, and that he was, indeed, the very last finisher.
JG, he's also really funny and a really good guy. I am blessed to have him as a brother.
Whoo hoo! that sounds like it was one tough day for the Aman ... one of the hardest things to deal with is hitting that 24 hour mark and realizing you've still got another 6 hours to go (and I'm sure he was well aware of his pace) that's just a soul-crusher ... but Aman done did it!
As a tough-as-nails ultrarunner yourself, you are one of the few folks that really can understand, Chase. I remember your webcast of a 100 miler you did (was it WSER?). At one point you said, "I wish I was dead". You looked like you about were, too.
I was tough, but the course was a tougher than a two-dollar steak and the weather was hotter than a two-dollar pistol!
I finished, and I had fun, but man oh man-a-war, I think I'm gonna take a break now!
Thanks for following, it was an absolute gas, and I'll be back!
You are an inspiration, Bro.
Sie sind nicht recht. Ich kann die Position verteidigen. Schreiben Sie mir in PM, wir werden umgehen. cialis online viagra [url=http//t7-isis.org]viagra wirkungseintritt[/url]
