Very enjoyable stage today :-)

I had company/crew by 3 ultra runners today: Clay Shaw, Don Lookingbill
and Bill LaDeiu. We had a great time and the 3 gentlemen of ultra running
took turns running along on the road. Bill is a very accomplished runner
(the other two I have already presented in the last reports :-), and has
amongst many ultra races completed the "Bad water Ultra" which is
considered
one of the hardest ultras in North America. Besides a huge elevation
change
(upwards) during the race, it also greets runners with temperatures in the
area of +50c!! Most runners that makes it to the finish line uses about
30hours of running to do so.


At the finish place today there were a TV-station out to do a coverage of
the run, but as I was having a good time I didnt notice them and ran right
past the TV-crew at the central square in York - thus having the cameraman
running behind us trying to catch up...
