Ewen and David raced within a few kilometres of each other right to the end. David was pursued all day by eventual 3rd place getter Andrew Vise and 4th place getter Christian Fatton from Switzerland.

David said “It was a real dog fight with no one prepared to give an inch. Normally you wouldn’t be satisfied with second but on this occasion I am, as I gave 100%, left nothing out there, raced hard all day and finish in what is a very fast time. Credit to the winner Ewan he was simply too good on the day”

* David Eadie - Finishes the 2010 Western States 100 Mile Ultra Marathon *

June 26th - TRM David Eadie has once again successfuly completed the epic ‘Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run’ on June 26th.

David raced as best he could on the day and was on schedule for a sub 19 hr top 20 finish right upto 130 km before fatigue and nutritional issues slowed his progress. David recovered and solidering on to the finish at Auburn in 22 hrs and 7 mins.

"It was once again a challenging day and things went well for 130 km before I began to slow. But thats to be expected in such a gruelling event. In the end I was more than satisfied with the way I solidered on to the finish well under the magical 24 hour 'Silver Buckle' mark and inside the permitted 30 hour time limit.
When your out there for 22 plus hours you go through many highs and lows and you really do test your mental and physcial toughness. I guess thats what draws me to such an event"
