2010 Zumbro 100 Mile Endurance Run – Race Report
Short Version
This was hands down the most difficult thing I have ever done in my entire life. Everything I had heard before about 100 miles was true, but I had no idea exactly how it would feel. It hurt, and I was exhausted. I finished though, in 30 hours and 49 minutes, and feel an amazing sense of achievement. The Zumbro Bottoms trails were much tougher than I thought, maybe easier than Superior but not tremendously. My crew was indispensable to my finish. What an epic experience. Finished the day saying “well, I got that out of my system,” but amnesia might be setting in. Shared trail with some awesome people during the day, notably Susan Donnelly, Rob Apple, and Ryan Carter.
I finished in 30 hours and 49 minutes.

Congrats on finishing! What a huge accomplishment – I did my first marathon last year and that felt pretty long – I couldn’t fathom what doing 100 miles would be like!
