Went and paced Jeff and Richard at the buffalo run. They were doing the 50 miler so I got there at 10 to help out. Finally found them at mile 28 aid station. And kept cheering them on every mile or 2 till 38.7. Where it was my turn to get in there and help out by pacing. At this point Jeff was really suffering and it was his first ultra. Richard was like 10 mins ahead at least and looking good. Had a good time running with Jeff though. Pace was slow though. We would walk the hills and run the flats and down for the most part. There was some really technical parts too that we just walked through. I told him 4-5 miles out that the plan was to finish strong for that last mile. Since he would remember it most. Needless to say the last 2 miles we were running. And the last mile was his fastest at a 7:30 pace.:)
