Stupid-long race report is finally done. You won't want to read it all. It's mostly for my own benefit.

Are we there, yet?
Actually I did want to read it all and it was fascinating. There's much for us to learn from your experience, especially that a successful race is not just in the planning but in the plan execution and adapting to actual race conditions. I need work and more experience in all those areas. It should be a lot easier if I can learn from yours as well as mine.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
A sometimes lurker here. I'm captain at the ALT aid station and love reading WSER RR to know what people go through before getting to mile 85.2. A very well planned and executed race by you, indeed. Thanks for the nice comments about the aid stations BTW.
4/14/24 Napa Valley 50k, Calistoga, CA
