10) Your favorite race and why? It’s usually the one I just finished. But I also have a soft spot for any race on the Western States trail.

11) Advice to other athletes: Get mad knowledge of self. That means spending some time alone on the trail, with no ipod/gps/hr monitor/etc, and feel that natural rhythm between you and nature. When your toughest moments come in a race, it’s this natural flow that will get you to the finish.
