I'll write a long post later, including but not limited to: cool pictures: grilled-cheese sandwiches, car washes, ill-placed trees and snoring on the run.
But for now just let it be known that Dr. Frank cranked out a very impressive belt-buckle worthy debut at Umstead on Saturday/Sunday in North Carolina. The man is tough and trained and is in line to become the new Energizer Bunny (though not all the pictures will illustrate that!)
I was, and I am impressed!
More later I promise.
Thought you'd want to know that Frank Crossed the finish line (it didn't cross him!) in well under 27 hours! WTG man WTG!
ReplyDeleteWell done Dr. Frank
ReplyDeleteI am SO psyched (for you both!). I can't wait to hear the gory details...
ReplyDeleteRock on Doc!Well done :-)
ReplyDeleteAndy, you think he'd want to come out for Bighorn in June, I know a pretty good motel ...
And congrats to Frank's pacer, who managed a not-too-shabby 67 miles himself!
ReplyDeleteThree Reasons that Brought DrFrank to the Finish Line:
ReplyDelete1. AM told me last year that 100 was possible (he made this statement one minute after I finished the my first 50 miler at Croom).
2. Andy guided me with plans, made suggestions, and ran training runs with me (some were very memorable).
3. I had THE best pacer anyone could ask for. A-man ran more mileage as a pacer at Umstead than most registered racers.
I learned a lot; he is a GREAT teacher!!! Man...he should do that for a livin'
Frank,
ReplyDeleteWell I darn sure can't blog for a living, well I can't blog and teach for living, and right now that teaching thing is the love of my life (BLF aside :)
And I was happy to be there, but like Dorothy in OZ, you had everything you needed all along.
Should have had me pace you. You'd have had all that and a bag of chips (healthy ones!)
