I just stumbled across the Team Pearl Izumi-Smith blog, and Ashley Nordell's Grand Teton report.
Ashley says some very nice things about the 7 hours or so we spent running around the mountains together for her last 25 mile loop.
The thing I remember most is that last mile once we realized that a sub-23 hr run wasn't going to happen, but the win and course record were virtually certain. "Let's just enjoy it then". That last mile was great, and of course, one of the perks of my 'job' was to be the first person to offer my congratulations to Ashley.
