Hope to see you at WR.<br /><br />ShawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695295435066427359.post-88216440765913027082009-07-16T08:21:33.703-07:002009-07-16T08:21:33.703-07:00Thanks Jolly!

But don't feel like you had to be there! At this point, I see the whole thing as a refreshingly human experience in the machine like push these things require. Onwards and upwards. <br /><br />The one thing I didn't mention in my post was how ABSOLUTELY wonderful my family and friends were about this event, even when I dnf'ed, and I'd like to add this thought to the post. I heard from so many, and the words were so amazingly encouraging. Certain members of the fam told me they were praying for me--sweet. Even my Aunt Jody weighed in, who I haven't heard from in a year. My stepmother had the classic comment--"THEY would pay attention on the one where you quit." And then she added how proud she was.

Unfinished buisness. You'll be back, ...Scotty,<br /><br />Unfinished buisness. You'll be back, and I'll get my ass in or I'm pacing/crewing you next year if what you think you needed was a kick in the ass. I feel bad for not being there for you. <br /><br />But frankly, I don't buy it. You were in major calorie defecit, and, given that, it was unlikely you would have been physically able to continue. Besides, in that condition, you are also mentally incapable of fairly assessing your condition, so even if you could have gone on, your mental state would not have let you, and that's not a "wanting it" problem. Its a "I can't eat another gu without vomiting" problem.<br /><br />Remember Karl's addage: If you haven't gotten a dnf, you haven't run enough ultras. As someone who joined the dnf party just a month ago, I know where you are at, but know that you will be kicking ass at Cascade and be putting this one behind you except as motivation for killing Hardrock next year.BJ Haeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938958533487502861noreply@blogger.com
