Cheryl sent a few more photos from the awards ceremony Monday evening and those have been added to the photo album.
She said this: "only a couple,,,but I wanted everyone to see what real Ultraman Atletes look like!"
Hmmm, looks like long hair or no hair??
Click here to see a few more photos.
MORE PHOTOS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE ALBUM Sunday EVENING
Notice how everyone--well the support crew anyway, are all big smiles. Steve has the look of someone who knows what he is getting himself into--3 long days.
UPDATED: End of Day 1. Total time: 10:41. Bike 7:32
End of Day 2 Bike: 11:03
Steve had a very hard day...vomiting and not able to eat or drink much...
we got some saimin down him
and then he got better,,,only to get sick again...it was on and

Congratulations Steve on finishing this amazing endurance event. I'd be interested to hear some 'story' about your experience. You and everyone else in HURT makes me want to be a better athlete, and to always find a bigger challenge. - Jan M.

Hey Steve !
I don't know which is tougher...you tell me...finishing the HURT 100 while having the flu, or finishing either of your two Ultramans? Only YOU man ! What's next? You're running out of stuff to do. Maybe pass the torch to Jacob? You impress us all ! Don

Congrats! I had Ed waiting in the wings to warm you up. I'll bring ya a beer to chase down the chunks. Very proud of ya man.

I'm not sure who is crazier, Steve or MikeM! Then again, Steve got to sleep at night during his 3 day event, so I'd still have to give the prize to Mike! But don't worry Steve, he's had many more years of mental deterioration than you to get to that level of insanity!
Awesome job Steve, you are truly an UltraMan!
(PS. It was great to see the pride in Jacobs eyes in your pictures together!)
