With an experience like I had at Headlands and 12 Hours in Cool, 50 miles really does seem that far. It's amazing how that mental barrier fades.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kinds words in the ability to break 10 hours. :-) That means a lot!<BR/><BR/>Franz.Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567651163606938516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681734906476456794.post-81601574281733781052008-08-15T12:13:00.000-07:002008-08-15T12:13:00.000-07:00franz,this is hao. i saw your blog from the hh 50...franz,<BR/><BR/>this is hao. i saw your blog from the hh 50/100 site. man, you did an amazing job for your first 50. there's no turning back now, brother. :) very well written report as well. i really enjoyed reading it. hope you are recovering well. and yeah, what were you thinking doing 12 hours at cool the weekend before your first 50? :) i'd say you would've broken 10 easily if you didn't have the 45 miles on your legs. <BR/><BR/>cheers!<BR/><BR/>haoUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153366366731154088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681734906476456794.post-52597299716754743502008-08-15T10:35:00.000-07:002008-08-15T10:35:00.000-07:00Yea Ron that was Jen.

She called out my name and helped me with my water bottles, but maybe because I wasn't expecting her and her hair was down, I just didn't make the connection. I even asked, stupidly, "How do you know my name?" Thank her for me!<BR/><BR/>I saw that ambulance and firetrucks too. Poor guy. I've had that same conversation with other runners, and we agreed that dying suddenly while running is a good way to go, albeit somewhat traumatic for those around us. Sorry to hear about your boss.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764467043221298433noreply@blogger.com
