WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
17hr39min, 1st overall, new course record!!!
It hurt...a lot, but it was supposed to hurt, it was supposed to be hard, it was supposed to challenge me. I actually had thoughts of dropping out on the first lap but managed to fight through the mental weakness and keep my body moving forward the entire time. I suffered from some unexpected and unwanted stomach issues, but again, it's all a part of it. One hundred miles is a freakin long ways to run, stuff gonna happen in a hundred miles!!
Anyways, full blog report in the coming days, but for now, I get to enjoy my first solo victory of the year!

Great 100-mile debut, Gary! Sorry I couldn't keep up with you more than that mile or so. You rock. Look forward to the full report (which might precede mine by maybe 3 1/2 weeks instead of that many hours).
Woo Hoo Gary finished a race!!!!! Way to go!

Oh. My. Gosh.
You do this after trashing your body twice over and with a one month absence from running?? Geeez. Sell the bike. Wait. Mountain Biking is Fun. O.K. Bike less, Run More.
Congradulations! great to hear how your work and anguish paid off. Enjoy your well deserved rest!

Nice work! I knew you'd go for it all or die trying. wish I could say the same. that was an amazing finish time to say the least. Hope to see you out on the circuit.
Congratulations Gary! Nice work man, very impressive.
Nice work Gary! FYI, I think I gained 10 lbs yesterday.... :)
Yeah Gary Robbins!!!! We love you and can't wait to hear all of the details. You are a rock star!!!
Just looked at the race website...we couldn't find a photo of you crossing the finish line. Perhaps because you crossed almost 3 hours before #2. You crushed it!
brilliant pain, gotta love it!
17hrs...next year!!!
Most excellent, Gary....that's freakin' fast!!
