I Survived!

Chip Time: 2:44:02
75th Overall

The last 10 miles were tough, as I'm sure my splits will show, but I survived, which on day like today is sometimes all you can ask for.

More details to follow.

Good job, Greg- proud to be your sibling :) We "watched" you through emails and noticed that you were struggling a little bit between the 35-40k, but we knew you'd finish strong and you did! Great job!

Way to tough it out. Training in the summer heat surely helped!

Great time Greg, given the conditions. Humidity is a runners worst enemy.

Best of luck with #4.

Hey Greg, glad you made it out alive. You were a trooper to hang with it even with PR hopes gone, which shows a lot of courage. Be proud of yourself, and hopefully you, me and Dallen can all take our PR's down next time.

That is an unbelievable time for those conditions. It may not be a PR by time, but it probably is one by effort. Huge congratulations.

The horror stories have been circulating about this disaster of a race. Good showing on an incredibly tough day.
