Hi Leslie,

I am sorry I am leaving a comment, I can't find your email. I am writing you in the hopes that you want to participate in an e-book we are writing about ultra runners.

We want to tap into the collective craziness (we mean that as a compliment:-)) of this community to challenge and inspire other non-runners to make their own life an ever-greater creative expression of their own goals and dreams… without limits.

Progress so far: We have currently contacted more than 250 ultra runners and received more than 60 answers.

We would ask you to answer a question about your experience with ultra running. Please note that these questions are related to your mental state and require that you are able to explain quite specifically what is going on mentally when running.

If you'd like to participate please shoot me an email at dreamit@juliossol.com.

Thanks!

All the best,
Jannick

Way to go Leslie! Great cause, freezing cold and placed in your age group! Sounds like a great weekend.

It brings tears to your eyes!!

Wow!!! Nice job lady!

That's so heartbreaking.

Yeeow Leslie,

That sounds horrible. I guess lucky in that I've never barfed on run - it cannot be nice. I can easily see how you would be hyponatremic at FH. Losing all liquid and calories from your body must have left you quite weak. You were certainly not the only one - I am amazed at how many runners (even extremely seasoned veterans had metabolic issues out there).

I hope to see you at some more sane "fun runs" in the future.

Cheers, Paul

2009-07-06T09:18:57.619-07:00

Leslie, your friends are right when they say, "not completing this race is not what defines you." The fact that you even trained for an event like this speaks volumes! I think you have a great attitude about 100 milers going forward... pacing and crewing. You're a GREAT runner, Leslie!

2009-07-01T07:47:52.406-07:00

We know you are tough n determined or you wouldn't be at the line. Well said these events do not define us at all but it is through these we make good friends. I hope to see you soon. We can compare vomit n hyponatremia stories. I now added that to my history. Hugs k

2009-06-29T18:38:31.525-07:00

I felt so horrible for you when I saw you. I didn't know what to say. And little did I realize I wouldn't make it much further. Meh. They're just races. Not what defines us :-)

2009-06-29T15:35:29.926-07:00

Leslie,

I didn't know you had a blog, looks great.

You looked great when I saw you at RF. You made it much farther than I, you should be proud.

I'm with you at this point the 100's take too much. I'll be doing the shorter stuff for now.

2009-05-20T06:28:27.180-07:00

Ha ha you didn't really quite approach shower curtain proportions of lostness :p But that sounds unpleasant nonetheless.

Nice work lady!!!

2009-04-08T14:59:00.000-07:00

Leslie, you were unbelievable! Seriously, you run 100 a few weeks ago, 50 last week and then this 50 AND kill me whilst making it look easy! It was fun to play leap frog for a bit and nice seeing you and your family after the race!
