| One big, happy family. Side note: One of those dilapidated shacks was home to Carole King while she wrote some of her biggest hits. The history of Burgdorf is fascinating. Google it. |
 |
| Ice cold start. A few brave souls sport bare legs. |
 |
| Old man winter. My man, Matty Tock. |
 |
| "Raphael is cool but crude- Michelangelo is a party dude." Eric Lee employs the teachings of Master Splinter. |
 |
| Debbie Kumasaka is TUF. Now Four 100 mile finishes in the last 6 weeks. Incredible. |
 |
| Seth Swanson cruising along the Secesh River Trail early on. |
 |
| Brandi and Katie with Crew Chief Casey. |
 |
| Gotta love old, rustic Burgdorf. |
 |
| Randy Benthin and pacer Jason Leman late in the race. Randy moonlights as a bare knuckles boxing champion. |
 |
| The best runner in Idaho...Joelle Vaught. Her pacee Ryan Lund was a lucky guy to share the trail with this phenomenal talent. |
 |
| Super strong and steady...Wayne Rancourt enjoys the Hot Springs after the race. |
 |
| B looks strong leaving Snowslide, gobbling more pizza. A slightly more grim scenario next time she was seen at Lake Fork Trailhead. |
 |
| A sly Seth Swanson looks like he is stealing this one to take back to Montana. |
 |
| Another workman-like outing for Pocatello hardman Kelly Lance. 2nd Place and rock solid. Happy to call this guy my friend. His beautiful family made our event that much nicer. |
 |
| Mike James bears down as he descends the Victor Creek Trail. His first DNF of the day would be at the Upper Payette Lake aid a few miles later. Like a Pheonix, he would rise again and "rally" for 30 more miles before succumbing to a brutal cough. Sorry for the tough day, but a little bit of Mike James in your race is better than no Mike James at all. |
 |
| An emotional finish as Emily Berriochoa wins her first 100 Miler. She came on like a freight train and would not be denied. She paid her dues as a back-of-packer but found her fire and commands respect for such a gutty showing. |
 |
| Christine Kollar finishes with her crew and pacers Tim and John. Love this pic. |
 |
| Dennis "The Legend" Ahern shows cat-like prowess across Lake Fork Creek at Snowslide aid station. |
 |
| Hardest working guy in Ultras, Michael Lebowitz. |
 |
| TACOs. |
 |
| Seth Swanson and pacer Justin Yates dominate the night. |
 |
| Be strong Mr. Burden. We will see you next year. |
