Today marked my 51st consecutive year of volunteering for (44 times) or running (7 times) this race.  My first year was the famous K. Switzer 1967 year when I was handing out oranges to the runners in Framingham, where my family lived.

This year I was stationed at the mile 9 clock.  Here's a couple of pics:

Nice!!!  I'm working on a 3 year streak of volunteering at the Wasatch 100 myself. In other words, I'll catch up to you in miles in no time!  :d

Hasay's 2:23 was a big surprise, everyone figured she'd be good because she's been on a roll for the past 6 months but she broke Kara Goucher's USA marathon debut record by almost 3 minutes. The US women's marathoner are very strong. And the men aren't doing bad either.
