I am truely amazed that you ran that course in the dark with no prior experience and on top of that lead Derrick to the finish in under 18 hrs.

I'm out west now, so obviously didn't see you there in 2009, but I noticed that you've signed up for the K-Rock! I did the Diamond Ultra this past year and it was super. I skied, but I can certainly give you some hints about gear, sled design, etc. Feel free to ask away!Liza Pyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11895085765297801415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228676448866583925.post-6538992783664595782009-09-15T10:46:02.075-04:002009-09-15T10:46:02.075-04:00David,

I can't even imagine running those hills at night going at the speed Derrick needs to go.<br /><br />Again that word: UNBELIEVABLE.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000545672867444826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228676448866583925.post-66617491865255709892009-09-15T10:37:20.985-04:002009-09-15T10:37:20.985-04:00"Oh Crap!"

I loved y..."Oh Crap!" Oh boy! Too funny.<br /><br />I loved your report, David. What a perfect pacer you were; just the right approach and it all seems very natural to you, although at the same time well thought out. I don't think either of us knew about the running in the dark fear when you agreed to do it (with zero hesitation!), and that just makes it all the more giving of you and special. <br /><br />Thanks to you and Kim my nerves were NOTHING this year compared to last year! :) Sharing the day with you guys was the best.Sara Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015835021322201315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228676448866583925.post-41708066834904300652009-09-15T10:30:13.607-04:002009-09-15T10:30:13.607-04:00David,
You were awesome and just nailed it! Thank ...David,<br />You were awesome and just nailed it! Thank you so much! I can't tell you how great it was to have you out there. You did everything that I needed and so much more. I have been replaying the race in my head ever since finishing....especially the last 30km, and was amazed with how you anticipated what I needed without even having to ask. Once again, I would not have achieved these goals if not for you...as evident by my last 25miles being 40mins faster in 2009 compared to 2008.<br />Thanks again and I look forward to returning the favour!<br />DerrickDerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226053638415425937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228676448866583925.post-3362994294495618912009-09-15T10:16:46.175-04:002009-09-15T10:16:46.175-04:00Quote: I have always said that I would never, eve...Quote: I have always said that I would never, ever run a 100 mile race. Now, I am not so sure. OH CRAP!<br />Awesome job pacing love. I really, really enjoyed the adventure and I especially liked being there with/for Sara as your job was to be there for Derrick!<br />I'm very proud of everyone. xoxoxKimberleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763978830284321729noreply@blogger.com
