    Way to go Cuz! What an amazing achievement logging your 1st 100 on your 1st attempt over such a wicked sloppy trail.

    Pseudo live results (several hours delayed) can be viewed at http://www.ultralive.net/rr100/webcast.php. Click on the Top Men link. As of this post, Mike is shown in 32nd place overall at the 80 mile mark.

    • runwithgarrison's avatar

      Doug thank you so very much to you and your family!!! Not only did you put us up and do the contrast tubs with me. You also were with me every step of the way. I knew I could count on Pauline reading a new comment from you every time I saw her. The recordings were awesome as well. Thanks for posting the blog link to your Facebook as well. Great to connect with old friends and make some new ones along the way. Hope we can hang out again soon!! Give everyone a hug and kiss from P and I. By the way…you were right, Gabor was there with me every step and he would be pretty stoked about the whole thing.

    You have accomplished something very few people will ever do! What an incredible feat! I have such respect for you! I hope by the time you read this you’re on your way to a big, juicy burger and a cold beer! Cheers!

    • runwithgarrison's avatar

      Aloha Roodi. I have had my share of BBQ and maybe 1or 2 beers since the finish. Going to enjoy the next few days of no training before i start to train for the next one. Thanks for the great message on my iPod!

    Nice work, man. You are nuts. Of course, you have always been nuts. Very impressed.

    • runwithgarrison's avatar

      Thanks Keith! I need to get you out to one of these races sometime. You would have a blast. Hopefully I get into Western States next year and you can come along and pace me for a few miles!
