It is a great story! I was in a hurry so jumped ahead to see what happened! Very exciting (and brave!)

hi Lynne! Thanks so much for reading! Can't believe a decade has passed since our 2012 race together. Are you still in Kanab?

Your running stories are so inspiring! I cant imagine feeling so tired, the headlamp you thought you were picking up turned out to be a snake!!

Thank you for reading! Believe it or not, this is actually an abridged version. The longer original version is on my old blog, TheRunnersTrip.com. I cut out a lot of description that got pretty wacky and tangential. At 5000 words, this "shorter" version is still too long for an email post but so be it.

I'm finally getting into the ultra habit now that I'm in my 70s. Should have entered the scene earlier. I am hooked now though. The dogs and I have always covered many miles, so guess that has been my training.

Jealous of the accomplishment and, more so, the experience. What a great race recap. Super belated congrats on your multi-stage race win!
