Christian,
Let me know if it’s ok for me to use this race report in the GUTS newsletter. No one did a Mtn. Mist report, and I know the members who don’t frequent your blog would appreciate reading your excellent report. I’m trying to finish everything by this evening or tomorrow at the latest, so please let me know asap!

Thanks,
Allison (Editor, Straight From the GUT)

Christian, really enjoyed your post!

Your article appeared in the second edition of the kdays.com Running Blog Carnival last week. Thought I’d pop over and let you know that issue #2008-03 is now online too.

Cheers,
Kerrin

Hi Amy – I can’t wait to run Masochist again. I have some unfinished business there. {wink}

In speaking with the race director, Masochist ’08 will be open for registration May 1, 2008 – but it’s not a definite.

Keep watching the Extreme Ultrarunning web site for updates.

One thing to keep in mind – Mountain Masochist is a popular race and fills up quickly. Don’t dilly-dally when registration is open.

Hope to see ya there.

Hi Christian,

I’ve been Googling the Mountain Masochist for days now, looking for a website, but all I can find is 2007 info and your blog Is the 2008 race full, or can you even sign up yet? I have some friends who did it a couple of years ago and liked it, so I thought I might give it a whirl.

Thanks, Amy

Mark:

Thank you for the link to race report. I had a great time at the Mountain Mist.

I hear a lot of great things about the StumpJump race from all the members of GUTS here in Atlanta.

I can’t wait to check it out!

Thanks again,
Christian

Great race report. I’m disappointed I had to miss this race- I had signed up but got called away for business. I’ve linked to you on our Rock/Creek blog:

I’d love to see you at the Rock/Creek StumpJump here in Chattanooga in October. Also, come join our discussion board at http://www.runintheboonies.org/forum. We need more Atlanta people on there.

Hi Tim. (figured out your name from your 13th place finish in the MMT results at: http://www.huntsvilletrackclub.org/HTC_Races/MM07WEB/Results08/MM08OALL.htm

First off, thank you for the writing compliments. It’s easy to write a great report when you had an awesome experience… Sorta’ pours out on its own.

Second, dude, 13th place in your first ultra? Day-um. That’s incredible and I am really stoked to see all the new breed of Ultrarunners out there just burning up the trails.

I found your report very good as well, and thanks for linking it here, giving my readers an “elite’s” perspective.

Cheers!

Christian.

Though I’d share my RR because I posted a link to yours on RT with the comment:

“Posting this because this runner did a heck of a lot better job describing the race than I did…”

Since I posted a link to your race report at RT, though I’d share mine here. My quote when psoting your link was “Posting this because this runner did a heck of a lot better job describing the race than I did…”
