Bob was a beast besting me by 118 miles! He started strong with a 50k at the White Rock Classic and finished stronger with a 100 miler at Lovit. I thought he might rest a bit after that 50k. But no, he kept at it hard. Then I counted on him tapering a little before Lovit, and that was not the case. The closest I got to catching Bob was 18 miles.
A couple of stats from Bob's beatdown:
- He ran for 57 hours and 51 minutes. That's 8% of the month of February!
- 20 runs in 29 days.
- An incredible 30,282 feet of elevation!
What's most impressive about Bob's victory is the silent manner in which he crushed me. Not a single word of trash talk throughout the month. He just went to work, mile after mile.
I would like to take a small bit of credit, and offer a much larger dose of congratulations for Bob setting a new personal record of the most miles in a month. This is his first time breaking 200, and boy did he break it!
