 A brief synopsis for now--full details to be assembled,
 and, hopefully, made at least partially coherent sometime
 in the next few weeks, for any who are interested.
 
Unfortunately, most of the field DNFed. 
Of five actual starters, one arrived to the finish line of the
second one-hundred miles. 

The weather was absolutely beautiful through the first 
36 hours.  Torrential rain and high winds 
(estimated 30-40 mph) blew in by 11 PM Friday, about 
41 hours after the run began.  After a few hours, 
the rain became a gentle sprinkle.Then the skies
 once again cleared before dawn, and moon light preceded 
the sunrise. Saturday was mostly sunny, with a gentle breeze.

The heavy rain during the second night drastically altered trail conditions,
at a time when  extensive areas of mud, slippery roots and rocks, and
 the psychological impact of the weather were most likely to adversely 
affect the runners who remained out.

Thanks to all the volunteers and crew!! These people were, literally
the runners' lifelines!
