Pretty amazing that you went from feeling so low to flying on the downhills and not coming that far behind your initial goal. I'll perhaps see you at HH100 as I'll be working at the rodeo aid station from 3-7 :) Not sure what time runners will be coming through, but it should be fun! Hope your tapering is going wellAdelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256451142660464796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605766.post-60579622218662815592007-07-27T19:41:00.000-07:002007-07-27T19:41:00.000-07:00Hi Steve,nice report, although I think most of us ...Hi Steve,<BR/>nice report, although I think most of us had felt like you as we have walked more % than usual. No doubt, the altitude take its toll. It's a good training though and helps us being better at sea level. Now onto the next journey: HH100 - one small step for Norbert (50M), a giant leap for Steve (100M) or something like this. <BR/>Was happy to meet you and to see you enjoying your popsicle!<BR/>NorbertNorbert Leinfellnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02664548924712242623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605766.post-45913046890032579652007-07-27T19:14:00.000-07:002007-07-27T19:14:00.000-07:00Congrats for pulling thru that Steve.

Makes me even more worried about altitude though.<BR/>Your report makes me think you'll do really well at Headlands.

All you have to remember is to never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER give up on yourself. Ever."<BR/><BR/>I think that's the most important less you can EVER learn about ultrarunning, I think. Great job, Steve, hanging in there - you should be very proud of yourself.<BR/><BR/>We learn more from our tough races than the ones that come easily, that's for sure.<BR/><BR/>See you Sunday.<BR/><BR/>SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
