Eye One

Thanks all for following along. I had a great race. Pushed super hard at the end trying to come in under 20 hours and came up just over a minute short, which was still good for 4th fastest time in race history. I feel like I ran a very smart and very consistent race. I'll follow up with a full race report soon. Now it's time for my third breakfast.

  11. Geoff,
    Congratulations! What an amazing race you ran. It was so cool to be there and watch you cross the finish line. When Sheri and I walked out to wait for you, there were only 4 race workers sound asleep in their bags, obviously not expecting you so soon. It was so quiet, the first thing we heard was the sound of your running shoes, then we saw your light. Sheri excitedly said, 'He's coming, he's coming'. The race workers bolted awake just in time to pull out the stopwatch and get your time as you crossed the finish line. Everyone there was amazed you ran without a crew or pacer. Again, congratulations, what an amazing accomplishment.

    Congrats on an awesome race. I read Jill's report on her blog. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to run for a hundred miles.
