Trans-Rockies 2012

[yellow]

Thanks, all. I'm still riding the happy wave.

There were several professional photographers there and I am looking forward to seeing what they captured (available in a week or so). I know they got some good final finish and podium photos

I have a deep respect for everyone who completed this event. Getting up in the morning 6 days in a row and going for a run is no small feat. Our biggest competitors, Marielle and Valerie, are incredible, strong women, and I really enjoyed chasing after them. Very gracious as well. They told us this morning that they had planned to use the event as a training run for Ultra du Mont Blanc in Chamonix (which is in 2 weeks) but we turned it into a race for them. I was flabbergasted and flattered. These women are world-class athletes.

So many awesome people from all over the world. And so many nice legs. I did some filming and will make a short movie over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, here are some photos.

The final podium. Yes, I was yelling "RAWR!" (or something like that!)
