"A Sweet Finish with Family: A 2013 Bighorn 100 Mile Race Report" From a purely running standpoint, my big news from this year was my third finish in a row and bettering last year's time on the "traditional" course by six minutes (33:39:03) on a course that was slightly more than a mile longer. But the great and wonderful novelty of my Bighorn experience this time around was sharing it with family! This is something I've dreamed of doing at one of my longer ultras and especially Bighorn, having Esperanza and Mihiret (and my mom as an added bonus) at both the start and finish, and crossing the finish line with Mihiret hand in hand. That's a moment I've envisioned for a couple years in my mind's eye and to have it come to fruition was just amazing!
