IT'S DONE!

Early yesterday morning (29 Dec) Liz and I both finished the Houston 100.  This was Liz's 36th 100 miler in the calendar year 2012, and it was my 27th.  We did it and it is now done!  We both pushed hard on this one and following a sub-24 hour performance two weeks ago we both did a repeat sub-24 with Liz finishing in 22:26 and myself in 20:19.  As we sit here in our hotel room we are sore, stiff and happy to be finished.

Liz has 3 or so reports that we will be posting soon.  I will write up the Houston report later this week. And look for a "year in numbers post" which should be fun.  It's been an exciting year.  We've pushed our bodies and our minds to places that we've never gone before and met so many wonderful and interesting people.  This has been a year to remember but definitely not one to repeat.  For anyone who wishes to challenge the record, best of luck but be prepared for the challenge of your life!

Sunrise at the start of the Houston 100 - a great omen for a great race to end the year.

  8. It was so awesomely wonderful to follow you guys, thanks, Scott, for creating the blog. Don't worry about missing out on some race reports, the important part is that we were able to embrace a little what an unbelievable feat you both did. Great photo of the two of you! And an amazing last run.
