Yeeowza! Smokin' run! Way to go, Lloyd! Dude, bet you feel like you OWN this distance!

- Tom

Tom (I think he posts as ErieTom here) finished his first 100.
Medina UltraGal (Suzanne) finished her first 100!!!!

I DNF'd at mile 75. I have a really long race report, here:

This is so very cool that, count them, how many Coolrunners ran their first 100M here at MO?

- ltfranke: well deserved. Your focused training paid off.

- MedinaUltraGal: Nice to have dinner with you and Bob. I watched you cross the finish line. The look on your face - priceless. Sorry I did not get to see you afterwards. Bob and I ran near each other before he took off for good.

- erietom: I did not even recognize you in person. You've lost weight and look great.

- Kimba: Sorry on your result, but congrats on your spirit. I really appreciated all your trail reports throughout the year.

I also got see 17yo Michael Hayden again in a race. He's amazing.

Ltfranke said, "A couple good emotional finishes from first timers who were looking in pretty bad shape later in the race and were demanding to quit. They had great pacers who wouldn't let them."

I would have been one of THOSE people. Yes, I did have the best pacer in the world, Wild Bill, whom I am already booking for next year so none of you are taking him -- but, it wasn't totally Bill who wouldn't "let me" quit. It was me -- my own desire -- to finish. (The actual moment: Walt, friend of ours manning the Covered Bridge aid station, with radio in hand -- me on a chair under a blanket -- saying, "Suzanne, are you making this decision." In other words, are you dropping -- and there's no going back on him pulling off my number. NO WALT, NO BILL, NO SUZANNE, NO I AM NOT DROPPING. Get me soup. Let's go Bill.)

It was tough (the last 25 miles anyhow) and I did cry. But my 16 year old was there, after crewing me all night, with her camera, smiling and yelling... and my husband was at the finish ... and Roy... and Tanya... and Sean... and Sharon... and all of my dear supportive friends! How could I not cry.

Race report to come... it's almost done.

Great job, Lloyd, you were so fast...
Kimba... ...

And yeah, Bob, my wonderful husband, 3rd overall! (Got lost in the last mile and was passed in that 15 minutes or he would have been 2nd.) I am SOOO proud of him. Sorry I was so slow.
