#46 Ultra - Flagstaff to Grand Canyon 55K

On September 21, 2019 I completed my 46th Ultra Marathon for 100 by 100.  It felt so great because Lori and my daughter Della were there every step of the way to support my efforts!  I finished the 55K (actually 35 miles) in around 8:40.  I believe I finished actually 4 minutes faster than last year! 

Anyway, the course was just as great as last year and the weather was actually perfect for running.  Lori and Della and our new dog "Sunny" also had a great time running some of the course trying to find me, but for some reason, they missed me.  Not a biggie!  They did see me at the 10 mile relay exchange and of course at the finish however - which was greatly appreciated!  I did have some issues during the middle and later stages of the race, but I don't need to go into all that..........  Anyway, we all had a great time in Flagstaff - especially at dinner at a great place down Highway 180 in Flagstaff.  Celebrations were in order for sure!

Well, thank you all for your support and here are some pictures!
