My first Ultra! Ran the first 23.4 miles with my wife and she was awesome. We then split as she finished up the marathon and I took off down the remainder of the Ultra path. Gorgeous weather and the legs got strong toward the end. After cruising at a 10:45/mile pace for the first 26.2, I cranked out the last 4.8 at a 8:33/mile clip. Wicked fun! The volunteers were awesome and it was such a blessing to share all this with my beautiful bride. Next stop...Boston!

    Congratulations to your wife for her marathon and to you on a great first ultra. I belong to a club full of avid runners, but even so, those of us who have ventured into ultra territory are called "crazy" and referred to as the Ultra Freaks. Welcome to the rank of Ultra Freak!

    Hey, thanks. We'll see how "freaky" I can get. I was very surprised at how strong I was toward the end, so I don't think this is it for me. I guess a 50 miler will have to be the next goal...to be continued.
