Comment on The next best thing to racing…Pacing! by Average A

Wow, Andy — I feel star-struck that you commented on my blog; thanks for that!

And thank you, also, for writing such a detailed report on pacing! Being a complete and total novice to ultrarunning (the closest I’ve got to anything along those lines are reading books and blogs about it), I didn’t realize the extensive role pacers play in helping their runners. While I figured pacers were there to offer support and guidance in the dark and at the end of the run, you really go a great job of showing how much MORE than that it is — making sure they are eating, drinking, AND on time, as well as knowing the course and their splits. That’s a lot of pressure. However, I imagine the pay-off is huge. I can feel the excitement & happiness for both you and Mylinh as I got to the end of your post. Very inspiring, well-written, and documented.

I didn’t realize you were down near L.A.! I know the 13.1 Party scene might not be your thing, but it would have been fun knowing I had a fan out there cheering somewhere. :) I assume you’re heading to Hawai’i for HURT 100 — best of luck if you’re running, and please pass a kind hello to Catra!

xoxo

Andy..OMG! I just found your blog from Facebook. This is an amazing story. I didn’t know you had done this until just now. The race format of laps sounds so mentally challenging, how mind numbing. Would like to chat about this in person sometime.

Hope.

THANK YOU for posting your stats, you’ve shared pieces of them with me a number of times, but seeing them laid out cronologically gives me hope and inspiration like little else can.

Only one DNF… almost as freaking amazing as watching your speed consistently increasing!

See you soon my friend.
