Plain 100 mile race (Entiat Mountains of Washington State)

[BCJ]

Great job, Joe! I'll probably have to PM you later to pick your brain about a few things...I'm putting in for the Western States lottery and will do either the Pine to Palm or Moab 100 in the likely case that I don't get lucky enough to draw a spot.

Joerunner,
Absolutely Superduper Loony! You really are the Man! & as Geoff said I'm the ma'am .
It is amazing how you remembered it all too! I felt like I was there, while read your TR! Thanks again for sharing:).

Thanks Don! If you were into racing then I bet this race would be right up your alley.

Sure BCJ, pm or email with any questions you have. I ran Western States last year but I haven't done Pine to Palm or Moab. I think those last 2 or fairly new. Another race to consider is Cascade Crest up at Snoqualime pass. CC is my favorite.

Thanks for reading!

Loony is right! For a few days after a race like this I'm too depleted to really do anything physical so I have a lot of time to sit down and recall the race and write it down. I really enjoy writing reports on races that went well. It is kind of like reliving the experience and I can use the report for future reference and sometimes even motivation. I write reports on the races that go bad too because there is something to learn there as well.

Thanks for reading and also for setting the bar on some really tough hikes. Your adventures really motivate me.

I am not sorry about the length it was breath of fresh air for a guy with time on his hands.Or I should I say hand.

Thank you and I am in total awe Tom

With dry cloths, fresh shoes and food in my stomach I was feeling pretty good and ready to go. So, after 25 minutes or so I left Deep creek in the dark using a headlamp and a handheld flashlight for light.

So that is almost as fast as a race car pit stop: Pull up, switch shoes, refuel and a bit of duct tape around the bumper that is falling off (whoops, the duct tape was to fix a hole in the shoe...). Impressive, especially considering that you have already been on your feet for a while!
I found your write-up very detailed and interesting. I would be pleased to read something like that in Outside Magazine. It is amazing to me that any human body can cover 100 miles in that kind of time! Well done and thank you for a fascinating report. I only miss pictures of you "before" and "after" (gone to the dogs)!

Before & after audio also:) I'm not even on the radar for this kind of stuff but my first over 40miles I was talking like a deranged mad man at the end
