Congratulations!<BR/><BR/>Now that I'm all into ultras after my one, single 50K finish and looking at race calendars, I'm thinking about you a lot. You're so lucky living out there in California, you seem to have a race in your back yard every weekend, and it's sooooooo pretty out there! But the part I'm really jealous of: you get to hang out in places with names like "Cool". There's no Badass, Mass, or Devilishly Cruel, New York. Thanks for sharing your stories and letting me live vicariously though you!Speed Racerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906299857341904683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-57358394382633070222008-06-19T19:35:00.000-07:002008-06-19T19:35:00.000-07:00Actually, just noticed that (I think) that Cool ar...Actually, just noticed that (I think) that Cool area it technically part of the "Auburn State Recreation Area."Mark Tanaka (Ultrailnakaman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13506740152878287937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-60280561439919805282008-06-18T08:29:00.000-07:002008-06-18T08:29:00.000-07:00Congratulations on hammering it for an awesome tim...Congratulations on hammering it for an awesome time close to the leaders. I'm impressed, and you should be very pleased with yourself. I tend to stick to gels and potatoes for my 50k races, since they're relative sprints...<BR/>You look like you're in great shape for Tahoe.<BR/><BR/>I agree it's probably a misnomer, although I guess Auburn is not THAT far from Cool. Is Norm Klein's September "Sierra Nevada Endurance Run & Relay," technically in the Sierra Nevada?Mark Tanaka (Ultrailnakaman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13506740152878287937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20554645.post-39882945158865560412008-06-15T19:59:00.000-07:002008-06-15T19:59:00.000-07:00Hey Gretchen, I just realized that I met you at th...Hey Gretchen, I just realized that I met you at the start of the race. I was talking to Peter. Nice blog.

I think the only time I achieved that was when I came in less than 10 minutes before Bev Abbs at Diablo, when she did the 50 miler and I did the marathon :D<BR/><BR/>Congrats on a well run 50k!Adelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256451142660464796noreply@blogger.com
