Nice Report
Hi PI:
Nice report -- just the right length and amount of grit.
I heard from my friend Phil yesterday. (He headed to Idaho after the race, and I've
been wondering how he did.)
Just for background, I have beat Phil in a race ... once, and that was at our second Laramie race together. (He beat me at the first one.) But he consistantly has beaten
me at every race since then, from short to long. (I think I can at least take
credit for motivating him.

)
I can't get Phil to race the Leadville 100 bike race with me (he think's it's insane),
but he's been doing longer and longer races (like Laramie and the Silver Rush), so
it's only a matter of time until I get him into the LT100.
He said that he didn't do very well in the race. Maybe he was tired/overtrained?
He finished in about 9.5 hours. He said that he wasn't last, but he was close
to it (not counting those that missed cutoff times, of course.) For reference, he
recently finished the SilverRush 50 miler in about 7.5 hours. He said Laramie
was harder (which surprised me!).
Thanks to all that have replied. Great stories!
I didn't hear about any sheep, though.

Two years ago (I think), when I raced
Laramie last (when I beat Phil), about mile 60 we passed a pen full of sheep, in
the middle of nowhere! I was in a zone, so to speak, and I was startled to hear
a bunch of school kids laughing. I looked up to find this pen of sheep. It was
pretty funny (being that I was completely out of it).
Great job guys (and gals!).
