I just wanted to say thank for you for your encouragement and donations for the Partnership for Smarter Growth! I raised over $250!
Here are the early stats from the hike.
2008 Preliminary Totals
280 started: 125 for the 100K, and 155 for the 50 K.
185 finished: 51 for the 100K, and 134 for the 50K.
I'm sorry to say I only made it 48 miles on the hike, not the entire 62.2. The last 6 miles were the most physically and mentally strenuous experience for me. Out of my 6 friends that started, only one made it the whole way. I'm sure that with more training I will be able to finish it. Overall, I had an incredible experience and made some great friends (15 hours of walking with a person will do that!).
Again thank you so much for your support and I feel pretty excited that I made it as far as I did.
