I ended up using last year's JFK experience to write an article for Running Times a few months back.<br/>I used the Garmin Forerunner 305 to capture the data and then uploaded the data to Motionbased.com from which I took the elevation profile. The Garmin comes with software, but MB (owned by Garmin) does a good job of correcting errant data points. Anonymous,

I know way was I planning or training to do this stretch. It just sort of fell into my lap but it was a blast. Makes me feel that I am much stronger than I previously thought. Thanks, Olga.

Sophie,
I did four runs in total during the 15 day stretch. Three 50 milers, and a lone 5 mile training run. After MMTR extreme chafage had me sidelined for the week, while I only got out for a single easy five miler on Monday the week of JFK.

Thanks for the great details! Now, the question I really want the answer to is: “What kind of training did you do between all three races?”

Inquiring minds want to know.

I found my way here via Dane's blog about your accomplishment. I can see why he thinks you're a great guy: not just that running skill, but you are a total data freak just like Dane (though probably worse). ;) Congratulations on an amazing trio of races. I'll be sure to check back in the future to read more about your adventures. Wow! I found my way here via Dane’s blog about your accomplishment.

Very cool that you were able to increase your intensity in each successive race of the Bryon Trifecta, and throughout each race individually. And finishing off the series with a p.r. is just sweet! If the stars align and you actually do get in to WS, I see potential for a nice p.r. there, too. Great detailed and interesting report.
