  1. You ran 20 hours, but the field is getting so fast these days that’s now considered slow….
    It’s getting so hard to gain entry, you wanted to take your time and savor the moment….
    You’re a classic “kicker”…and just waited until the race got onto the track to unleash the beast with a 150 meters to go…
    You confused the sage advice and you ran the “ups” and walked the “downs”….
    You stopped at each aide station and read Thornley’s detailed course description for the next segment…
    You forgot about the “penalty fees” when you starting withdrawing the time that you “banked”…
    You ran out of toilet paper and accidently used posion oak….
    You thought 50 miles was half way….
    You made a bet and raced head to head with the “Head Master”…
