CRAZY STEPH: THE MAD CHICK OF WISCONSIN
Well, she did it. She won the Dances With Dirt Marathon in Baraboo, WI. just so she didn't make everyone look bad, she ran about 29 miles before finishing in 5 hours. She still beat me by 54 minutes and I only ran 26.2 miles.
This was a very brutal course. I think what helped me the most were these things: 1. There were places on the course where it was impossible to run, like a very long, irregular "staircase" of rocks (this favored the slower runners like me), 2. The course could have been marked more clearly (many runners I beat probably got lost), and 3. I ran with the guy who placed the markers for much of the course, so I KNEW we were going the right way. The trouble is he's a much better runner than me ... I felt like I had a tiger by the tail and I didn't dare let go!
By the way, I finished third in my age group.

Thank you! I had forgotten why I never let people take pictures at me during races... I will hide from cameras for now on!
I know it's not a very flattering photo, but it was the only one I had! Do you have a better one (from the race)? I could swap them out if you do.
