One of the best parts of the Renegade 50 was how proud and excited everyone was (and is) to be a part of that experience. We worked together - not having known anyone before the disappointment of finding out that the official race was cancelled - and we had a successful race of our own. My attitude now is something like: You think running an ultra is badass? Try doing it in a Tropical Storm, bitches!
A fabulous runner has dedicated a website to our trials here.
Alas, my thirst to run a ridiculously long distance has not been quenched. I am looking for good, local races that will fit into my schedule. I am also looking to relax...which is hard. This means not having a detailed plan, perhaps doing other activities (swimming, etc.), and being flexible. I mean this next statement with all seriousness: relaxing may be more difficult for me than training for a 50-mile race.

baby, you rock the heezie (and my face off). proud, impressed, inspired (enough to run myself), etc.. remember, you have lots of time to do this stuff.. i'll be your coach/crew as long as you'll let me -- maybe one day i'll do something that will necessitate a crew of my own. will you just be part of my crew anyway? thanx crew.
the renegade site is amazing!!! I didn't even get how cool that day was until I saw the photos and the look on all those wet faces. A great story for all of us for years. wow.
I'm glad someone took it upon themselves to chronicle your collective badassery ;-).
