And the winner is ...

Well in our book it's Jeff ... in 20h and 46m ... he wrapped up his last 100 mile run ... at least he says it's his last .. well see after he has time to heal from this ordeal.

He's just tired and sick from all the nutrition but in great spirits over all ... time now for some much need rest.

I'd like a plate of women and a bowl of butter

Now that I have your attention ... Last lap ... very slow on the 7th lap ... he's have overall fatigue and some stomach issues ... but he's back out to finish the last 12.5 miles even if he has to walk it all.

He'll still finish under 21 hours or so ... which beats the time last year.

Now isn't that the funniest thing since sliced bread!

Was that a Brawny Bear I saw go by ...

Six loops done and he's looking strong ... feet are hurting and another blister to contend with ... plus the temp has started to drop again ... so time to bundle up and stay warm.

Nutrition is holding up for him and his pacers are keeping him motivated ... no delusions of the man in the red shorts so far .... but we all swear we saw a Brawny Bear go streaking by ...

Two loops to do ... finish time should be somewhere between 1am and 2am ...

What place am I in?

Well we finally checked after Loop 4 and he's in 17th place ... but we're still not telling him. At 10 hours and 40 minutes, he finished the 5th loop or 62.5 miles assisted by Jess and Kelly ... yes he is starting to hurt ... yes he is starting to get tired ...  but off he went, with Jess and Pete, for his 6th loop.

There have been more wardrobe changes so far on this race that what happens backstage at a Victoria's Secret runway show. Ahhh the gene just won't let go, even for a race.

At the halfway point

50 down ... 50 to go ... at total time (with rests) is 8h 15m .... not bad for a mere 50 miles. Important thing is he's maintaining his pace ... Gatorade and Biofreeze and Roctaine ... stuff to live by

He got sticked by Janelle ... looked like she was rolling out cookie dough. Shaun said it looked like she was blowing him ... leave it Shaun to say that.

Have no idea what place he is in since we want to remain in blissful ignorance ... if we knew,we had to tell him and that would just spur him on to run faster than he needs to.

Kelly and Jess are pacing with him now ... expect him in around 4:30 pm ... if all holds well he should be finished by 1am ...

She looks like a east german water bearer

it was all in the shoulders ... and this is definitely not a reference to Jeff.

Okay .. so three loops in .. and one small blister ... and Peter is a good sherpa ... he popped the blister, aquaphor'd the feet, changed the socks .. now that's friendship.

Jess (Pete's girlfriend) is getting worked up about running loops 4 and 5 ... yes it's odd that she's excited about the 25 miles but she's getting her first taste of ultras.

Pictures of the foot work shall be on Facebook

25 miles - sweaty laundry drop off

He's done his first two laps ... done well with pace but talk about sweat monster. There must be 5 soaked shirts drying on the stumps around our makeshift based camp. He also changed out of his new shoes ... yes new shoes on race day - worn in the face of the don't use new equipment on race day!

Jon and Janelle showed up with coffee for the group - thanks to them for the caffeine boost! Shaun and Kelly will be along about the time that Jeff finishes his third loop.
