Western States 100

My brother in law, Mark is absolutely crazy! He is running in the Western States 100 mile trail race. He loves doing ultra distance running. I can't even imagine how he has the will to run that far in one day. I was on his "crew" with my sister and Mark's Uncle Leo, and his Pacer - Zach, until he ran with Mark at mile 62.  I was the official photographer and support for my sister! We commiserated together about why our husbands like to do crazy endurance events (like Chris doing the Ironman and Mark doing this race). It was a very long day, but also incredible to be part of such an experience. Mark finished 82nd place in 22 hours, 29 minutes and 29 seconds. The race starts at 5am in Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe and ends in Auburn, CA.
 

Here is all of Mark's support team!
