I must really love this race, seeing I have run it 10 years in a row. I remember my brother Jay dropping me off for my first race at Quad. I just remember thinking it was a tough race. I had already run some 50ks and 50 milers and this was only 28 miles. During that first race I was just hoping I'd get through it without injuring myself. I remember falling a couple times. I really fell in love with the beauty and tuffness of this course. Maybe that's why I keep coming back.
I can tell you, I have become a much stronger runner since my first Quad. And I am no longer sore like I use be after the race.
I had a blast yesterday ,and it was great sharing my 10th finish with my close friends.

Hey Hao-
It was great seeing you so many times. You looked strong every time I saw you.

Hey Olga-
Girl you gotta make your way out here to do more race's and I needed to do the same thing and come to your beautiful state to run. After being on the PCT this year, I really fell in love with Oregon.
Hey maybe if I move there I will become faster. Seems like all the fast people live in Oregon.
