Eric, it was nice to meet you the night before PL. I camped next to you and your family. Your report was excellent! Although I am surely a mid pack runner, the "do it anyway" is resounding. What a great day it was. Despite still being out there in the storm, it was a great day for a GREAT race! Congrats on your win and CR!!

After reading this insightful and inspiring report, I couldn't be happier that you won this and walked (hopefully not ran) away from it with a new course record. More young hopefuls may keep signing up, but iron will and fortitude take time and discipline, and that gives us all something to strive for.

Great job at PL, Eric. Your race report does a gre...

Great race, Eric. It was awesome seeing you fly right through Sunset Field on your way to the finish. Perhaps in 10 years we'll be looking back at what a great field this was, with you, Kalib, Jake, Frank, Neal, etc, just like 2002.

Eric, thanks for inspiration. Congratulations and awesome race report. I especially like the idea of "Do it Anyway". Stay healthy and hope I get to run with you sometime soon.

2012-04-29T16:06:54.548-07:00

Special moments in my running life have greeted me with goosebumps and urges to cry before I even crossed the finish line. These moments are always because of a plan, hard work leading too, and execution of the race and goals. Words cannot explain these feelings.

Truly a great race, Eric. Next year, I hope to be dueling it out toward the Promise Land with you.

Yeaaahhh! Eric, awesome effort out at Promise Land...

Yeaaahhh! Eric, awesome effort out at Promise Land! This is one of the most inspiring race reports I've ever read. Thanks for sharing.

Ok, so I'm nearly a year late on reading this race report... but now that I have been running these areas of the mountains, it has perked my interest. I have learned you have the fastest time up Apple Orchard during a race, impressive. I trucked up the mountain in about 36 minutes on a training run a couple weeks ago - the falls and views were too energizing to pass up in this unseasonably warm winter.

I appreciate the thoughtful discussion. The variet...

I appreciate the thoughtful discussion. The variety of responses indicates to me that we don't have a good theoretical grasp of what is going on. As runners we have tinkered to find what works for us, but not even the exercise physiologists can agree on the most basic model to explain why those strategies would work!
