finish!

To officially finish Hardrock you hafta kiss the two ton slab of rock that awaits you at the finish line. You can't see it from this pic, but I'm holding an open can of PBR and a lit cigar. Thanks to Shad for this shot, you can see the rest of his Hardrock pics here. That's Katie in the green shirt and race director Dale Garland on the right.

What happened with Joe P? They've got him living the last station, but no finish time. Is there a final time cutoff that he missed?

I meant "leaving the last station", but I guess in a 100 mile race that "living" is just as appropriate.

Joe left the final aid station with a cutoff, Kamm Traverse, below the cutoff time. He was unable to cover the final 12 miles before the race cutoff at 6AM. He still finished the course though, around 7AM-ish. Kudos to him for continuing to grind it out, he could have easily gotten a ride back from KT when he knew he wouldn't finish in time. He was recognized at the awards ceremony but doesn't get an official finish. I'm sure he'll do a terrific race report soon.

He woke up Friday morning, then saw the sun rise THREE TIMES before he was able to sleep again!
