Last time I saw John Tilp, I think it was mile 95 of 2009 Leadville 100.
Great run this morning with John in town for a friends wedding. John is shown at right with nephew Trevor who is contemplating local fall running options....maybe QCM or Des Moines? John is getting ready for Arkansas Traveller 100 in early October. Good luck John!
He relocated to Arkansas (elevation 500 ft maybe) from Colorado (elevation 8000 ft or so.) Humidity a factor more than elevation now.
Talked at length about his run in 2010 at Wasatch. I pitched Wildcat 50k and spilled some war stories about Tahoe and Leadville 2011. Maybe John can get back for Wildcat...."it's like a frickin' church potluck...feast in the woods. Show up, shut up and run."
Great guy...him and Dave Jessen inspired me to get into uber running.
