Ha!...thanks Tom. That's right, the Bear completed my bid for the Rocky Mountain Slam. Beyond just an incredible experience in some of the most amazing backcountry locations, I learned a lot about what I'm capable of in terms of the 100 mile distance. I realize I'm not built for the back-to-back 100's (at least competitively--at my level). I can finish them but prefer doing them WELL! My body was tired. In the future, I'll most likely pull back to one maybe two hundreds per year, focus on one big race with a sprinkling of 50's and 50K's.

It is an incredible accomplishment! You should post this as a race report.

I don’t know how you do it, man.

Rocky Mountain Slam – Something that interests me (if only from a fan’s perspective). How many people, in total, completed all 4 races?

Winner of the "Words Per Mile Ran" Race Report contest.

Seriously, this is the last one, right? You did it? You finished all 4!

Hey Tom. 3 of us completed the slam. All local Utah guys. Not a particularly competitive group but fortunate to stay healthy and complete all of those--two of which were 3 wks apart. Enjoying gearing down and just having fun at the moment. Interesting how more racing = fewer miles. My yearly miles are 400 off last year's pace with 3 more 100's. Taper going into race, recovery after race. I miss just going out and having fun. Going to enjoy the off-season perhaps with a small one here or there.
