I'm glad you set Jerry straight on who is the fast one...his intro for us during the BH100 announcement was bit awkward. <br /><br />RyanBlack Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147629140554176275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738255226402221881.post-48132976340663313592010-09-01T12:40:37.485-07:002010-09-01T12:40:37.485-07:00Thanks everyone!

I was cruising along, thinking there was no one within striking distance behind me and then I saw your headlamp back there and it was moving fast. I thought "that's gotta be a bike patrol, no one is running that fast this late in the race". You were obviously feeling strong. I couldn't help but laugh when your pacer came by, trying hard to catch back up with you. Nice job on a really strong finish!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199683291737559562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738255226402221881.post-89840003800237821642010-09-01T12:29:01.133-07:002010-09-01T12:29:01.133-07:00Chris, I've followed your blog for a few month...Chris, I've followed your blog for a few months as I was amping up for the Lean Horse. Your post on Bighorn actually scared me a little as are training plans were similiar. This was my first 100 as well. Super JOB!! I was the guy running argyle with the pacer lagging behind, the day went way better than I dreamed of. I was 5th overall. (Also your newsletters were a great jolt to my pre-race obsession- Cheers, BradBrad Rhodebeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884818219001335693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738255226402221881.post-26070228988236303072010-09-01T08:06:15.952-07:002010-09-01T08:06:15.952-07:00Congrats Chris!!!

It made me think of something I've heard about Ultras before: "the ultimate eating and drinking contest with some running mixed in" Congrats again on an awesome feat - you rock!Mechaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414171811881063322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738255226402221881.post-68049001615831412562010-08-31T07:21:52.938-07:002010-08-31T07:21:52.938-07:00Great race report.

I think what Jerry was trying to get at was the family thing where runners of all abilities come together at ultra events....he just didn't get the thought processed in his head all the way. I gave him crap after the race and told him that I made sure to run faster than Ryan just because of that intro. But, really, 100 miles has a way of leveling the playing field sometimes.<br /><br />Ryan did have a great time though, and recovered very well after his rough patch.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199683291737559562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738255226402221881.post-27352637010581598142010-08-30T12:14:16.299-07:002010-08-30T12:14:16.299-07:00Awesome job and great seeing you out there!

Also thought Jerry's introduction of you guys was sub-optimal, and I cringed a little bit as I'm sure Ryan did (I run with some really fast runners occasionally and they're very cool about it), but you took it in stride with the BH100 intro.<br /><br />I too was thinking of a fast finish in the front for Ryan, glad he finished and hope he had fun, I had a great time chatting with him as well.mike_hinterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817872376341966540noreply@blogger.com
