You're right, we get lulled into "you ain't an ultrarunner unless you check out a 100 or few a year" mind set, and then no matter we like it or not, good at it or suck, we do them. Well, I like them and am good at them, but eventually, too, am coming to conclusion my body would appreciate less damage, and my family - more time with them, and my brain - more challenge while doing shorter ultras at hopefully faster efforts. All is well:)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865610099237389421.post-82130541055152310632012-07-24T16:04:33.911-06:002012-07-24T16:04:33.911-06:00Great job Deb.Well Steve,i've had many close c...Great job Deb.Well Steve,i've had many close calls out there,(mostly stomach ones,this year altitude with my ashma and tendon problem),but i'm sure that vertigo would have stopped me cold.I can't turn around more than a few times without getting sick,forget merry-go-rounds.I had surgery once to replace the stapes bone in my ear,i had to stay in the hospital way longer than the doctor wanted me too,room was spinning around like a top,ugg,so i can clearly see your tough decision.Hardrock will exploit any and all weakness in your health or training,damn that run!!But plenty of very fun shorter runs out there,enjoy.Randynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865610099237389421.post-82734223982398165072012-07-24T08:06:36.428-06:002012-07-24T08:06:36.428-06:00Thanks, all...

It's a tough, graduate level 100 and is easily 10 times more difficult than even Massanutten! Don't go there ! ;-)Steve Perohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233567281691642089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865610099237389421.post-26374059439485333212012-07-24T07:29:27.692-06:002012-07-24T07:29:27.692-06:00Honest post from the gut, Steve. Thanks for that. ...Honest post from the gut, Steve. Thanks for that. I'm still stuck in the romance of running 100 miles despite near constant injury from the training (which rarely leads to an actual race!). I need to get my head where yours is.<br /><br />Beautiful finish for Deb. Amazing!! I was so thrilled when I woke up early Sunday morning and saw that she was still in the race. I cried through that whole video. I really do want to run Hardrock someday...Run Home Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394064430195728410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865610099237389421.post-73472597764270440782012-07-24T03:54:59.791-06:002012-07-24T03:54:59.791-06:00Unbelievable achievement by De and congratulations...Unbelievable achievement by De and congratulations to you as well. I understand exactly how you feel. I'm 49 now and hope to still do a few big races, but I have been choosing more and more carefully and not go for everything possible any more.

Way to go!!<br /><br />And Steve, my MMT buddy...who says that you have to run 100s to be a true ultrarunner? Hell no! You come back east and run Hellgate and you will get all the epic-ness of a 100 without the feel of being hit by a truck. Seriously. The Reverse Ring actually feels more like a hundred, so beware... Anyhow, I am totally with you. 100s basically aren't good for you and you are free now to run fast for Boston, run 50s, 50ks, whatever you want! There are not many folks who can say they are a two-time Hardrock finisher. So, be at peace. You have had an awesome 100 career and now it is time to have fun!<br /><br />Miss you guys and am so happy for you BOTH!<br /><br />XoxSophie Speidelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898497608573807716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865610099237389421.post-2700235593717312442012-07-23T16:14:57.267-06:002012-07-23T16:14:57.267-06:00That video of Deb finishing gave me the chills. So...That video of Deb finishing gave me the chills. So fantastic! Congratulations to her for her finish to make her the "true Hardrocker". <br /> As one that has realized 100s aren't my cup of tea, I don't blame you at all for not having interest in future 100s. We can still enjoy 50k and 50 mile ultras and go up to Silverton each July to spend time with "the family" in some fashion. Do what's true to your heart and have fun!Jason Halladayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04420963952950170838noreply@blogger.com
