Full report to come soon. Meanwhile, the Top 10 Moments from this Weekend:

  1. Successfully cramming 2 coolers, 4 camp chairs, 4 bags, 2 cases of water & snacks in the back of the EBV (Electric Blue Vibe) after boasting that I am a champion car-packer. Whew - didn't have to eat my words!
  2. Trying to explain why I can't eat a sandwich once it's been in a plastic sandwich bag but I can eat a sandwich made with bread that's been in a sandwich bag. 
  3. Hiding the computer from the "dirty bastard thieves" in Bastrop. 
  4. The 180-degree difference in how we ordered food on Friday night pre-race to how we ordered food on Saturday night post-race. 
  5. POPSICLES!
  6. Seeing all our friends cheering us on at the finish line!
  7. Joining all our friends cheering the 50-milers at the finish line. 
  8. "The Grind, the Wall, your tent, the finish..."
  9. "NINE MILES!"
  10. Crossing the finish line with new ultra runner Julie. She rocked it!!
