I got my first 50 in a month and Bandera next week, but it is always inspiring to read others' race reports.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304433371528319248.post-27605758033486731402010-12-14T08:54:47.369-08:002010-12-14T08:54:47.369-08:00Oww, oww, oww...that's all I could think while...Oww, oww, oww...that's all I could think while I was reading about the course. To deal with all of the climbs and descents while fumbling through mud and rain, that's just not how I would describe awesome conditions. Nevertheless, you prevailed. Quite strongly I might add! Not many folks from flat-ass Texas could do what you did out there.AgileToeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01223264448076944899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304433371528319248.post-61288516687297675522010-12-14T06:37:09.806-08:002010-12-14T06:37:09.806-08:00John - Thanks and sorry about you taking a wrong t...John - Thanks and sorry about you taking a wrong turn. I had a couple of moments myself in the woods that I wasn't sure about the direction. Definitely a few more 50's in 2011. <br /><br />Nick - Thanks! With all the miles you are putting in you would be fine. You just need to get some trail experience. <br /><br />Zab - Thanks man! Recovering well as I hope you are. Still sorry I couldn't make it to Vegas.<br /><br />GIM - Thank you! Doing it one more time is what got me motivated for Boston 2010. Hoping for similar improvement at TNF. <br /><br />ESG - thanks! I decided not to draw any more attention to myself than neccessary. If you go to TNF with me in 2011 I'll let you determine my race outfit????Steve Berroneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045820298406768977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304433371528319248.post-59534386787855284402010-12-14T04:25:12.812-08:002010-12-14T04:25:12.812-08:00You gave it everything you had on an unforgiving c...You gave it everything you had on an unforgiving course, went as deep as you could go, and finished saying, "Thank you sir, may I have another?" Impressive grit and determination. Can't wait to see how your ultra-year plays in 2011.<br /><br />I will say that your race-day attire was surprisingly sedate [hint, hint].<br /><br />Cheers, ESG/RonRon Abramsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031698331400719039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304433371528319248.post-57610464080097272010-12-13T16:52:28.908-08:002010-12-13T16:52:28.908-08:00Excellent report!

I struggle with math at the end of marathons, I can't imagine the math issues I'd have from this.<br /><br />Congratulations and I wish you the best of luck next year in your revenge visit. I hope you are recovering well. Well done, sir.screaminzabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519702001471982826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304433371528319248.post-80303801250871443342010-12-13T13:26:44.033-08:002010-12-13T13:26:44.033-08:00Wow Steve, I would love to try something like this...Wow Steve, I would love to try something like this but it is pretty scarry. I think I will have to learn a little bit from shorter stuff first. Amazing race and I imagine there is a big learning curve as these races are so technical.

I'd like to get some revenge on the course next year too. I'll be interested in your race plans for 2011. Maybe a few more 50-milers?John Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557997208342746899noreply@blogger.com
