  • Comments: The Lone Star Randonneurs know how to put on an event. It was awesome! Tons of goodies in the packet, lots of food for breakfast, lunch (oh yeah, they got pizza while I munched on icky granola bars), and dinner. The trophies were just massive. I have pictures from the race that I will post later. Everyone was so nice. After this race I have a dilemma...originally the plan for next year was Ironman in April, double ironman in October, but this was so much fun, that now I'm contemplating going back and doing the RAAM qaulifier 500 mile event. While the 24 hr was great, I still felt like a pansy for only doing the 24 hrs. It's like the first time I did a two-man relay in a marathon. 13.1 miles was a lot and we were excited when we finished, but then I looked at the people coming across the line and seeing they're joy after their accomplishment. I wanted that feeling. And now I want to feel the 500 miles. Like I said, never satisfied...always gotta up it just a little bit more.
