<p>Even though I won't be there this year, I have a couple of buddies that are participating in one form or another.</p>
<p>With that, I can't help but get nostalgiac about this race.</p>
<p>I might even wear my buckle this weekend...though it'll look a bit odd with my surf shorts. <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130877034324514">Or maybe I'll wear it on a big chain around my neck...Flavour Flave style. <img alt="cool.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130877034324513" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Best of luck to all those that are running & crewing, or just plain cheering.I can't think of a better place to be this weekend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone here going?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I'm very excited as I know 4 people running it and a pacer  ... pretty cool!</p>

<p>Can someone explain to why Hal Koerner is eligible to run this year? He DNFed last year, so he doen't meet the top-10 criterion.  Do they have a special category for previous winners? I'm rooting for him but he's got some tough competition.</p>

<p>It's my first time at WS... this place is pretty damn sweet!  I've been in Squaw since Wednesday so I'm itching to start running.</p>

<p>Go LPJ!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just following some friends on-line. Ellie Greenwood is a fellow Fat Asser who's transplanted to the Banff area & she's currently 6th female...she has a very strong finishing kick, so I'm hoping she wins this thing.</p>

 

[mudrunner]

<p>Ellie's at Paechstone & now in 3rd place behind Kami Semick & Traci Garneau.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What happened to Geoff Roes & Hal Koerner?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jeezus!!!! Jornet, Wolfe & Clarke have alll gone through Brown's Bar about 20 minutes ahead of the predicted Leader Pace!!! They are only 4 minutes apart & less than 10 miles from the finish by now!!</p>

<p>Killian Jornet wins it in 15:34!!!</p>

 

[shellerz]

<p>woohoo, LPJ in less than 24 hours. BANANAS! <span><img alt="icon_cheers.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_cheers.gif"></span></p>

<p>Way to go Jason...you were probably running with my fellow Peak Bagger, David as you were minutes from each other at the finish. He had a celebrity pacer by the name of Ferg.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also....two other local running buddies finished in 20:37 & 20:42.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Huge congrats to Ellie for winning the womens race. She was 18 minutes off of Anne Trason's record time, & this was her first WS100 attempt....what an amazing year for her!!!</p>

<p>Congratulations on not only finishing but going sub-24!!!</p>
<p>I can't wait to read your race report - even if it <em>is</em> in five or more parts <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"></span><br>
