So I'm glad to see you were super frosty on the outside. :) Being well dressed for that type of cold about 80% determines whether you'll finish or not.<br /><br />And I know you hear this all the time, but your phenomenal writing skills keep us coming back for each post. Descriptions of surroundings and personal thoughts and emotions put us right there inside your head and make it real, rather than just the typical race report.

As I mentioned before, you are a talented writer, and it is a joy to read your posts and experience it vicariously through your writing (and definitely easier than trying to do such an event myself!).<br /><br />Oh...finally remembering to mention that I love the new "iced eyelashes" look!<br />Hope you and Beat are recovering well, Anntrailturtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752094947482643420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-61642004971226900282011-02-26T10:07:26.944-07:002011-02-26T10:07:26.944-07:00Congratulations Jill and welcome to the 100-mile &...Congratulations Jill and welcome to the 100-mile "runners" club :-). <br /><br />Even though you've done it before on bike, I still cannot imagine finishing Susitna as a first 100 on foot. It was my 16th 100-miler and I still feel that very little of what I knew before was of real use in that race. Given that, perhaps it was actually a perfect first for Beat and you to do together since it was a first for both of you just from different perspectives.<br /><br />At any rate, you guys did awesome and your words and pictures paint a perfect scene.Steve Ansellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107967737535707878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-9831568990432044702011-02-26T09:33:39.322-07:002011-02-26T09:33:39.322-07:00I wish that was behind you!

I purposesly didn't look up the results so I'd be surprised by whether or not your guys made it. Totally incredible you did!! WHAT a first 100 mile race. When I do my first 100 miler, I will always think - "At least it's not Sisitna!". <br /><br />In reading your a Danni's posts, I was struck by how much the -20F temps and winds reminded me of what I have learned about expiditions to the South Pole. Dressing right must absolutely be a science one has to have down pat!<br /><br />Many, many congrats to you both on your achievement and thanks for the intriguing blog posts.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-10077600541689931262011-02-26T02:17:15.254-07:002011-02-26T02:17:15.254-07:00(Dieser Post ist von Peter, funktionierte nicht au...(Dieser Post ist von Peter, funktionierte nicht auf dem Mac)<br /><br />Beat waited for me at the end of the roadside trail. Das kommt mir irgendwie bekannt vor. In Biel hat er auf mich gewartet, um mich dann noch schnell vor sich über die Ziellinie zu schubsen, damit ich bloß nicht Letzter werde! Du siehst, Jill, nur die Umstände aendern sich, der Mensch nie! Beat ist ein Sportsmann von echtem Schrot und Korn. Der Feingehalt des Charakters bestimmt den Wert des Menschen!<br />Danke Euch beiden, daß Ihr uns habt ›miterleben‹ lassen, wie es Euch ergangen ist. Mich hat Dein Fazit am meisten gefreut!

And most impressive your ability to still notice all the beauty of the nature surrounding you despite your serious struggle against cold, pain and sleep deprivation. I'm happy<br />you and Beat did so well and came out of Susnita 2011 unharmed. I like the picture of you two -- like "zwoey Tuebeli uf em Dach", as it would say in Bernese dialect. Congratulations!
