You're right, everyone knows Cory! <br /><br />You kept apologizing for writing so much but honestly, I hung on every word and felt like I was right there with you waiting for Tim to top and hill. So much emotion and I'm sure something you'll carry with you for the rest of your life!

I've always wanted to crew for an ultrarunner (unlike you, though, I have no near-term aspirations to actually do an ultra-race myself--too lazy, I am). I've always focused on the fun side of crewing--the dark side you describe here never occurred to me.<br /><br />Lucky Tim, that you were there for him. And lucky you to get this glimpse of that experience, and to celebrate your 50th in such a profound way. Your birthday *is* a big deal. Sounds to me like you celebrated just exactly as you were meant to!<br /><br />This training has been so exciting to follow. I know things are nuts for you, but just want you to know what a fan I am (and I'm looking forward to those race reports when you can get some time for them!).Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925925396644006805.post-9931686701304221532013-05-05T06:08:39.470-06:002013-05-05T06:08:39.470-06:00Crewing / pacing time is a graduate level course i...Crewing / pacing time is a graduate level course in that stuff.

Having your hands tied, but wanting to help...The ultra is the ultimate test in a person's ability to conquer himself/herself. But it would be hard to do without a crew.<br />Ironically I just finished reading a book to the boys called "Tracker" (not really age appropriate). There are a lot of parallels I could draw to the ultra and even crewing for an ultra.<br /><br />I knew it was your 50th- but didn't realize what you were doing for it :) Good choice. <br /><br />Very excited to see what is in store for your own race :)Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925925396644006805.post-69044598415337750292013-05-04T00:39:24.715-06:002013-05-04T00:39:24.715-06:00Late happy birthday Jill!
