Notes

After having a lot of time to think about this race I came to the following conclusion: I fully underestimated this race. I started slow but speed up too fast completing the first 50 miles in 11 hours and 50 minutes. At mile 49 I was already in a great deal of pain so I broke one of my race rules: my ego to finish sub-24 made me take an ibuprofen. This made me feel great and I pushed the next 15 miles too hard without knowing it. At mile 66 I was basically done with running and all I had left was walking. This made me not properly taking care of my salt intake having my hands and feet swell which in turned gave me blisters the size of quarters.
