I was there, running my first 50 mile race. Same experience - nauseating heat, deceptive clouds, and a brutalizing Argyle Road. Your pictures were beautiful and reinforced my commitment to run the 100 mile race this year.

You helped give me the mental game of my fist 100 and I found one of those rare moments in life where everything is perfect while surrounded by family, freinds and peers.

The scenery is worth it, as is Jerry's low-key approach to the race. Personally I'd prefer any race without a circus atmosphere, but Lean Horse is one of those well-kept secrets. <br /><br />Good luck when you do go there.Alene Gone Badhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887360033395271217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614641499256174127.post-13041214295937412422010-08-31T09:25:29.623-06:002010-08-31T09:25:29.623-06:00Congratulations, and thanks for posting this!

If I hadn't driven 13 hours to get to the start, hadn't slept (sorta) in the car, had eaten properly, and maybe had a few of the clouds you got, I might've made it to nightfall.<br /><br />Nicely done! Losing toenails in those last 20 miles notwithstanding, sounds like you had a great time out there.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.com
