Thank you so much, everyone!  It was tough...  I felt pretty crappy for the first 60-ish miles... lots of stomach issues and had a heck of a time keeping my heart rate low on the climbs (even at a crawl of a pace).  Not sure why, it's the first time I've had stomach problems in a race.

I stopped for a bit at Grouse Gulch (mile 58) and had some mac-n-cheese and a ton of bacon, and things started improving from there.   Lots more bacon at Sherman (mile 71) and then we cruised pretty well.  The last 9 miles was great... best I felt the entire day.  Weird sport we do, where it takes 91 miles to feel "good". 

Trying to catch up at work today, but I'll post more later... race report and photos forthcoming. 

Thanks again, you guys are awesome!! 

 

Did you post a report - was looking around as I am curious about this race.  Looks extremely painful re: elevation gain.

Not yet, this month has sort of gotten away from me with work and family obligations.  I'm headed out tonight to run a 4-day stage race.  Hopefully I can get something on paper (so to speak) once I get back next week.
