Short Race Update - Javelina Jundred 100

Just a quick update as today is a travel day back to the East coast.  JJ100 was fantastic.  It was great to see so many friends in action, and to meet some new ones.  Amazing how hot the desert can get in the day, and how cold it can turn at night.

In a few days I will post a more complete race report, which will be mostly a video race report, with video clips taken throughout the race from all parts of the course.

As for time....a nice 26 hour 41 minute finish (give or take a few seconds).  

Lots of thanks to my great pacer, Rick Gaston, who made sure I didn't fall asleep at 2 AM in mid-stride (by running 50 yards ahead of me, leaving me all alone in the dark with the desert wildlife - we all know how scared of the dark I am).

Congrats to Bob and Paulette for finishing their first 100-miler !

    WTF?! You weren't inspired to run when I ran 50 yards in front of you, when I threatened to leave you in the dark when you were lagging behind. Didn't you feel the need to catch up when I kept disappearing around the trail. Hahaha. I'll always remember the two us shivering in the dark on that 5th loop. We forgot to pick up our shells before heading out and we froze when that cold set in. Those thermal pockets were a Godsend but there weren't enough of them.

    Good job man. Now you have to run even faster at Umstead. Stop letting Gentile get so close to you, run faster!

    Good to hear you pulled it out. Apparently, someone blew some fuses or something out there in the desert, and I was left in limbo about you with 9 or less miles to go. Bravo!

    Rest up, and we'll hit the Hudson Valley trails soon.
