Your report made me and my husband laugh! We were there and it was an incredible race! I was a crew/pacer from Kachess Lake to the end.

congrats Christian! I was a volunteer at Mineral Creek aid station (mile 73), and I remember you coming through. You looked beat, but you had a good attitude at the time. Keep up the good work, and the good writing! See you maybe next year? Try the PCT50 ultra next July. It’s run entirely on the pacific crest trail. very beautiful!

I finally got the playa dust out of my eyes and read your report. Wow! I had no idea when you came in to No Name what was going on. Just saw you on that cot! So glad you were able to get through it and put this thing to bed! Congratulations – great read – every detail!!

Yo Christian! Well done. I finally got around to reading your RR – excellent as always…though you’re scaring me a bit going into next year when I’ll tackle my first mountain 100 (place TBD). Love the mental and physical fortitude…it’s what its all about.

Best of luck next weekend.

I loved this report and felt intervals of elation and exhaustion from just reading it. ‘Got lots of chuckles and belly laughs too. Thanks for offering this read and ‘big ups’ for the victory!

Hey man, just stumbled across your site. I’ll be at Hinson Lake on the 19th and did it last year. Email me at bwelbo (my yahoo address) if you want to connect and I can give you as much info about the event as possible to help.

All I can say is, ‘Wow.’ Thanks for putting us there with you. It was a great read. And I have something for you, a video that I think you and your readers might relate to and appreciate — ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/7216 — about one man’s “aha moment” experienced during a 104 mile race and how it changed his perspective on life.

Big congrats,
