Cascade Crest Classic 100 Miler, 8-27-05 & 8-28-05, Easton, WA.

Cascade Crest again this year was a great race! The race director and volunteers are amazing. Conditions this year were fairly warm and the course was more dusty than last year. I had an excellent crew consisting of Noah Domont, Amy Dutt, and Eden Whitmire. They kept me going when I wanted to stop and were instrumental in getting me to the finish line. I also had the pleasure again this year of being paced by my friend and fellow ultrarunner Brandon Sybrowsky who once again kept me awake, moving and entertained during the last 53 miles of the race.
