Bartram 100s 2011 Pacer Report


I was honored to crew/pace as Team Insanity took on the Bartram 100s on Dec 10-11. Notice how this event dates spread out over 2 days. Here's the quick summary from FB post:

All in all I got 26.9 miles in starting around 1pm yesterday. 4x6.25 loops 1 afternoon loop with Mike Delang, 2 late night loops with John Ridgley & Phil Sustar's last loop that was near 1:15 to get him in under 26 hours, plus 2x.85 out to pickup Sandy Geisel & whip her mercilessly on the way back to a near sub 24 hour hondo. For most of it my HR never went above 70 but I kept moving.


I learned a ton. I got to run between 2-3am. The weather was perfect. The race director did a really nice job. The rest of this report is photos.



Terri finishing pacing John or Phil somewhere past the 50k point. Smiles and moving upright where still in plain sight.


After pacing a loop with Mike Delang I headed off to church in Milledgeville. Church was established in 1874. The sancutary building was so small and original that there where no bathrooms in the that part of the complex.


My scorecard for the race. I am pretty sure in the middle of the night the whole idea of keeping records separate from the race director was abandoned. If anyone has my clipboards I wouldn't mind getting them back. :) I hear they got donated to the race director. Hope they live a good life at lots of races. :)



Sandy smiling as usual in the early evening.




This was the moon sometime early in the AM. Near twilight.




Sunrise - I need to be a better photog because the flash really didn't add to the photo.

This was a lot of what we did on the last loop - Chase Phil while he played "Drop the Pacer". :)
