Western States 100

I was looking forward to watching the live web cast of the Western States 100 Endurance Run Saturday. Then I remembered my sister was getting married. That scrapped my plans of watching WS100.

Since I couldn't watch the web cast due to me getting my hair and makeup done, getting ready, bridal party photos and the ceremony, I was kept up with the race via Twitter. I was really happy to read all of the tweets. I tried to catch up after the ceremony and at the reception.

Kilian Jornet from Spain was the overall winner, finishing in 15:34. Mike Wolfe from Helena, MT finished second in 15:38 and Nick Clark from Fort Collins, CO was third in 15:50. On the women's side, Ellie Greenwood from Canada was the first woman finisher in 17:55 and the 18th overall finisher. Kami Semick from Bend, OR finished in 18:17 for second place and 22nd overall. Finishing in third place on the women's side was Nikki Kimball from Bozeman, MT in 18:17 and 23rd overall.
