This is, apparently the food of champions:
M&Ms, pretzels, pb&j sandwiches, beef jerky, gummy bears and more. All served in luxury of course:
On a cold misty day.
As runners came in we filled water bottles and offered encouraging words. People were unfailingly kind and thanked us for being there! Around 10am I got asked to go to the finish line to help out, against the back drop of a rugged surfing beach:
This was where I served up chili and chicken noodle soup, more food of champions and gave out teeshirts. Also watched the first runner come in in an incredible 6 hrs 59s:
Also looking like he was out for a stroll. Trainee Dr by day mega athlete always!
First woman 9hrs 24s:

Day ended for me at 7pm...12hrs...course time limit 15hrs; I am totally inspired!
