I'm slowly easing back into "normal life" after a week out on the Iditarod Trail. That was without question the most challenging, satisfying, profound, and EPIC adventure I have ever been involved in. It's really hard to put it into words, but I have made that attempt and will be posting the full race report on Monday morning. It will be posted over on iRunFar so you can watch there on Monday or check back here as I will have a link to it shortly after it's online.
In the meantime I have been uploading some videos to YouTube that I took during the race. Unfortunately the battery on my camera died around mile 230, but the videos do a decent job of capturing some of what I was experiencing up to that point. You can see them all HERE
And thanks to everyone for all the great emails, facebook messages, texts, phone calls, etc in the past week since I finished the race. I wish I had the time/energy to respond directly to all of them, but for most of this week it's been hard for me to respond to anything. I've pretty much been doing nothing but sleeping, eating, and complaining about how much my lower legs/feet ache. I'm starting to feel a lot better though, and maybe I'll even go out for a walk tomorrow.

Congrats on a great race. Really impressive! Looking forward to your trip report. You are an inspiration Geoff.
Geoff, I ran the Rock and Ice ultra in NW territories in 2007.. what you went through makes my race look like a Hawaii trip. Well done.
Simply inspiring !

Geoff, that was a truly epic performance. I've really enjoyed watching the youtube videos and look forward to the race report.
Congrats man. The videos give a bit more insight into the race itself and were great to see. Thanks for posting them. The Race looks awesome.
You're zest for running inspires me!
You're zest for running inspires me!
Fantastic work Geoff. What a great adventure - 'race' seems to miss the point somehow as it sounds as if it was one of those incredible life experiences. Thanks for sharing it with us, I promise I won't moan next time my heating dies!
