I am in awe!jfought - 2012-04-14 7:45 PM Brent and Suzy, Congrats on your races today. I volunteered at the Winona Lake Trail Ultra today and helped with registration. They offered to let me run for free because I volunteered, so I signed up for the 50k (3 X 10 mi. laps), with the thought that I could bail at 10 mi. or 20 mi. if necessary. Didn't end up bailing and finished the 30 miles in 6 hr 58 min. Placed 1st in my age group. I am an ULTRA RUNNER!!
Congratulations Jayne, you are amazing!! |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: swbkrun mentor group 6 years running OPEN Happy Sunday Morning! Jayne--really proud of you. I still can't believe you weren't planning to run an Ultra and then you did it. The sheer fuel planning and carbo loading prep was out the window! Scott--I was wondering if we scared you away. Glad to hear you are back in business. Linda--I am going to play Devils Advocate--why not defer? Personally I wouldn't think any less of you if you did. Let's face it your body isn't 100%. Jump down my throat if you want to, but to me it's worth contemplating. They offered it. Me? I have a little swim, a bike and then the whole family is over this afternoon for dinner. Unfortunately we are having those crazy storms that the CA people did so there won't be much entertaining outside. Was really hoping the two little kids would be romping outside with Cooper, not inside! |

Expert 847 Brevard, North Carolina | Subject: RE: swbkrun mentor group 6 years running OPEN RR is up Thoughts on going out and doing an ultra without training: 1) You don't have to worry about stressing before the race 2) You know it's gonna hurt, so just deal with it 3) Who needs toenails? 4) Next time will be easier 5) Considered it an experiment with distance, trail running, nutrition . . . with no expectations. It was a very small race, only 40 minutes from home, and it was rainy, so some people didn't bother to show up. That's my kind of day!! Now, I have to get the little black dress and high heels on and go to a funeral and family dinner. That should be interesting. Definitely going to be taking sandals along Wish I could recover in Hawaii with Kyla. |

Anybody have the Cliff notes version for me?? Kyla is wearing a hula skirt. Kim has a piece of wood in her foot. Linda is preparing to roast in Boston. A bunch of MG'ers kicked a$$ on races over the last two weeks. Fatty slammed Tony about his new fancy degree. Pretty much the standard stuff. |

That and we went through an adjustment period around that time when we found out our daughter has special needs. I took some time off to learn about therapy's, deal with the school district, etc. Now that I think we have a pretty great routine down with her speech, OT, food therapy, insert name of therapy here, I am getting back on track. It was a trying year, but it was worth the effort of course, but now it's time for me to keep myself from going insane again! LOL Sounds like a tough time, you know I was only joking right??? Don't take anything we say on here too seriously, we're all supporting each other and love to see people getting out there and doing it despite all the other things going on in our lives! I've got 3 kids too, I was a zombie when they were babies, I just need my sleep! See if you can post a pic of "The Tank", I love that name for him! P.S. I was expecting Kyla to come back at me for that "no excuse" comment, must be too chilled out in Hawaii Oh no, I didn't take it seriously! Let me see if I can dig up a pic of The Tank at his finest!! |

Here's my RR which is short and sweet, just like me. Your mental toughness is amazing! I re-read my RR after reading yours and clearly know where my problems lie. Nice race for an awesome reason! Well done! |

Champion 9060 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: swbkrun mentor group 6 years running closed First masters race done 35+ open, not as brutal as I thought it was going to be, ended up just shy of 26mph for 53 minutes worth of racing. Much smoother racing with the older faster guys than the Cat 5's. Made a stupid move on the last lap and put myself out in the wind for a bit too long and used up more engergy than I should have so I popped with about 500meters to go. Great racing the weekend everyone awesome job on the spur of the moment ultra Jayne! |

Expert 1566 Prattville Insane Asylum San Antonio | Subject: RE: swbkrun mentor group 6 years running closed Congrats Jayne on your ultra trail! I can sympathize! After spending the night camping in what I can only term as a freezing monsoon, which didn't let up until about mile 25, and breezing through all dry pairs of socks in record time, I can agree with your decision to just go for it!! If given the chance of no toenails or skin left on my feet, it wouldn't even need pondering! Thank goodness for the food tent and after Rocky Raccoon, the guy with the hot soup after each loop! I am looking forward to July and the Captn' Karl's in Marble Falls! This will be the first complete night race for me, so at least I won't have to look at the damage to my feet until the next morning! LOL |

Hope everyone else had a good training day. Tomorrow is a Brick... more to come Why are you carrying a club? eta: Glad you're feeling better. Self preservation, running through really bad neighborhoods makes the Fartlek training so much more intense. |

Thanks Suzy, and rest assured I don't scare easily I have lived through 5 daughters, besides from what I see you guys are pretty mild. For a bunch of crazy people. |

Race news: Well Brent I would be very happy with your time for a half. There is always something good you can take from a race. Even if it is only a lesson learned and we have all learned lots of hard lessons . Congrats on the race. Edited by Redknight 2012-04-15 4:17 PM |

Master 1952 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: swbkrun mentor group 6 years running OPEN SSMinnow - 2012-04-14 5:28 PM Had a pretty good day on a crazy hilly course. Finished in 1:42:28 which is something I haven't done in a very long time. Gave me #1AG and #8 Female. Probably most happy with almost a 6' CR. The suffer factor was very high the last 3m so I was pretty happy to see the net result. For me, going into it 100% blind is key. You just push and push and don't get freaked out at a number you didn't want to see (e.g 8:06 on the biggest hill!). Unlike Brent, I don't have an RR done. Georging it and heading out for Tex Mex instead. fantaaaaaastic Suzy. Well except for no RR yet Awesome Jayne. way to hang in there and git er done Edited by Redknight 2012-04-15 4:11 PM |
