Dan,
Amazing perserverance to push your body to those extremes. Great job of keeping your mind in the game. Nothing but pride for what you accomplished. Sanity does not seem to a requirement for many on this site, so I'm hoping that you make it on your next attempt.
Once you get that under your belt you'll need to take on the Eco Challenge or the race ini NH that only 5 participants complete each year.
Keep it moving! Thanks for letting us be of your journey.

i was able to finally read this report this weekend... amazing accomplishment, and were you running through South Central LA??? that takes extreme to a whole new level, forget the 70+ miles :)
as i'm training for another marathon, i can only imagine what it's like to run an ultra, i don't think i have the ability (phyically or mentally) to take on that type of challenge. you are awesome.
