I'd also like to congratulate "The >Matt was great to run with for Middle Ranch-- (i'm still takin rolaids >today, btw, matt) !... I echo the raves about Avalon. It was my first 50 miler and I had a blast: buffalo, great weather, beautiful Big-Sur-like coastline vistas and a gorgeous downhill to finish (I actually enjoyed that section), but the five miles or so of Middle Ranch were long and grinding. Had a great time running with Joe Magruder, Craig Chambers, Steve Healy and Cindy Englander. And it was terrific meeting the internet folks face to face: Cindy, Stan, Gene, Suzi, Dave, Dave & Lane, Kevin, and others I'm sure I can't remember (due only to my failing brain :-). Cindy, I hope your tummy woes clear up quickly... looking forward to seeing y'all at AR50 (assuming I can get in), if not before.
