Jack DNF’d on Townes Pass, about 200 miles into the race. Brian finished in 36 hours and was elated just to have finished! This is a photo with Jack holding a secret message for the Swarm! racers from Morgan. He just finished hiking the Pacific Crest Trail last week(!!), but when it crossed the 508 course back in July he had left a message under a rock in a strategic location. Amazing!
Congratulations to your friends! I was out there on the course crewing for George “Vireo” and what an amazing event. I won’t be ready this next year, but I’m aiming for 2009. Everest Challenge will be my big one for 2008. ~Brandy
