Thanks to the 123 runners who started, the 170+ volunteers, the sponsors, and everybody who watched the race. Applications for next year’s race (Aug 20, 2011) will be available March 1, 2011.
Sounds like another epic WW!
Way to go, all you Waldo-ites: great web coverage! It was so much fun to be able to watch from afar – WT’s blog posts plus the twitter coverage and pix. There are definitely some bigger races (some that were even run the same day… not to name any names, tho) who have something to learn about available media. And even tho it’s great to have another RV runner win (Tim), the winner, in my book, is Meghan. What more can I say – she is just the best. I hope there were lots of hugs for her at the line.

@Mel B., Thanks. Alan did do a great job with the blog. I think our race is small enough that we can do this. If you have 700 runners it’s going to be difficult to answer individual queries about runners. I did have many other photos from Fuji and Charlton that I was trying to tweet but they were taking a long time. Maybe next year we’ll do streaming video.
And, yes, Meghan is something. She is on track to be ultrarunner of the year.
Any idea if Tim and Dan intend to punch their tickets to The Dance?
@AJW, Dan and Tim both said yes. Amy is also taking her spot. Meghan was already in because of her second place finish at WS this year so the second women’s spot rolled down to Jenny. She said at the awards ceremony that she won’t be running WS.
Good stuff Craig, glad the race went well. And, given that guys got lost at Leadville (that must have been a total cluster) you may get more sign-ups (by check, written on paper) next year.
Thanks for an awesome event, Craig! You guys do things with good style up there. We had a ton of fun, and we’ll definitely be back at some point.
@Gretchen, we loved having you, Jamie, and Jenny join us. And what an awesome race report you wrote. Thanks.
