It's not quite done yet, but should be finished by the end of the weekend.

That is some amazing detail.  You have a heck of a memory.

And of course, congratulations for finishing the race, that's an absolutely insane distance!

You're keeping us in suspense! How many parts are there going to be?  (I guess not too much suspense, as you tell us you finished) Good for you!

congratulations, very impressive.  I love running, but I would never do a 100 miler, so I'm very impressed by those who can/do.  Doing 33 miles barefoot is similarly amazing to me.  Well done!

Awesome.  That was some very useful insight for those of us on the ultra track.  Damn inspiring and entertaining too.  You make several refs to your "garmin" throughout the article.  Looks like the 305.  Did the battery charge last the entire race? 

Oh, dig the kilt.

Thanks everyone!  N8- it was the 305.  I forgot to mention it, but I had two.  My crew swapped them each twice. One was recharging while I wore the other.

I figured you were going to say something like that.  I had a 205 and dont think I ever got more than a good 12 hrs max out of a charge.

Great job!  I've done a ton of ultras (shod) but considering challenging myself by doing some ultra-minimalist (five fingers) within the next year.  I know I can't be as fast, but it would still be a fun challenge!

Jason great job.  I look forward to your review of Barefoot Ted's Luna Sandals.  I am considering ordering a pair.
