Well, not that editing this matters too much… However, I would like to state that Clark Messman (12:28:14) was the second fastest… unfortunately not the “youngest finish ever at the age of 21” unless you mean “the youngest for 100k in the past” and not “the youngest this year”… if that’s the youngest age… Then my birth certificate is wrong… I finished 18:06 with the tips of Ben (station volunteer and pacer)… and I’m 20 years old (06/10/1997)… I’m 99.9% sure I followed the trail markings correctly…
Not too important though just a “Just Saying” statement…
Thanks for the correction, Julian. I’ll get that updated here and on the race website. Congrats on your finish, and indeed your status as our youngest yet to complete the course.
