Hi, I am going to run this race in two weeks, my first ultramarathon (much less marathon) but this elevation is scaring me, can you e-mail me at alhockey001@aol.com with info on the course. Thanks, alex

Ah, there it is. Good for a second read & still illicited a hearty laugh… in the middle of class (I’m a high school history teacher.). I can’t imagine the thought of seeing my shorts floating away! That’s like the recurring nightmare people have. If it had to happen, the ultra crowd would be the most understanding. Much better than doing that on your lunch break & coming back to work, huh? Good stuff!

Thanks for the great race report! I just stumbled across your blog while searching for more information on the 2009 Chattooga run. I have already signed up and this will be my first 50k. Any logistical tips for getting to the start or staying on the trail without getting lost?

Thanks for the great blog. I have enjoyed the reading.

[...] For about four miles I suffered worse than I suffered since the Chattooga 50K. [...]

Wow, I might have been at this one if I hadn’t had scout camp. Really missed an epic run.

Congrats on the finish. Excellent write-up as usual.

Enjoyed your race report a lot, Christian. I like to follow the ultrarunners’ adventures, and I can even count myself among this wonderful group, though only just. Thanks for sharing both the hardships and the joys of your race. It just goes to show that there’s always good with the bad, but some humbling experiences with even the seemingly “easy” runs/hikes/walks. Good luck with your next ventures.

Excellent race report, made me snort out loud. It was a good thing that you wore the nuthuggers, huh? Now, that would have taken some explaining.

Mental note to self: Tell JB that maybe we should provide suspenders at next year’s SweetH20 creek crossing.

Thanks for sharing another adventure, Christian. You’re the epitome of perseverance.
