""...the truth that someday, you will go for your last run. But not today—today you got to run." - Matt Crownover (after Western States)
Great report! I completed my first 50-miler (American River 50 Mile Endurance Run) in March. Wasn't nearly as challenging as your course, but I hear on trying to get out of your own head during the dark periods. And I was lucky enough to have a pacer for the last 24 miles.
Excellent job. I look forward to reading more reports from you.
(PS - I, too, said,"Never again!" am now looking at future 50 milers. It's a sickness. )
