Hi. 'member me? An unnecessarily long account of my fourth consecutive DNF at the North Fork 50 miler.

So I have been putting this off. Of course that fits with the routine. I have run every instance of the North Fork 50 mile race, starting in 2010. You can go back and look at race reports here , here , and here . Though most of them are rather depressing. They are all DNF's.

I almost resist saying anything more than that for fear of it sounding like an excuse. However I guess the additional detail is part of actually giving a race report. Thus here goes some excessive verbiage constituting a 2010 Greenland 50k race report. The first thing that happened on this very interesting day was that I woke up and it was nice outside! It had just snowed the previous night and a couple times during the week, and with the forecast calling for rain and snow, I was prepared for the worst. I think I brought enough different clothes and shoe combinations to run everything from Badwater to that ultra in Alaska where you have to pull your own sled. Anyway it was clear and cool, and I immediately ran into my friends from over at Happy Trails . They are such ...
