As I milled around before Saturday's Chippewa Moraine 50K race, it suddenly dawned on me that I had never intentionally photographed one of the invaluable benefits of ultrarunning; the ultra runners.
So, before I post a review of Saturday's run, here are some of the invaluable folks associated with ultra running in the upper Midwest. I certainly don't have everyone. Each of these people has impacted my running in some manner. If I missed you, I apologize. The most obvious missing person is Peter Grimes, my running partner for the past two years.
Wynn Davis - race director
John Storkamp - overall men's winner
Steve Quick
Pierre Ostor
Larry Pederson and Nancy
Tom Burr
Eve Rembleski
Molly Cochran
Matt Patten
Maria Barton
Kevin Martin
Helen Lavin - overall women's winner
Darryl and Lynn
Bruce Smith
Allan Holtz
Henry Lewis, friend from church; first ultra.

Great pictures Joel.
That is Bruce Smith, not Bruce Juppe. Also known as Bruce "Fall into ice water" Smith
I wish I had known you were there! I would have introduced myself...great photos, though. My mom even made it into one of them :)
Great photos! Each one has its subject in a typical pose - including my half-leering grin. I might want to borrow that one.
Oh, by the way, there's some interesting spelling. It's Ostor, Pederson, Rembleski (used to be Rukavina), Darryl and Allan.
