Notes
Great at start slowly work my way down to this sucks by the time I picked up Heathen who was an awesome pacer. Truly I don't think I would have finished this race without her. I suck in the heat. Let me repeat that so maybe I'll remember next time I sign up for a summer ultra. I suck in the heat! The first half of this race went fantastic. I was running a good consistent pace not really pushing, felt like I was running too slow which is how you should feel but still hitting a really good pace. Nothing super fast but well below PR pace. As the day heated up it just wore on me. I was really good about eating and hydration until the last loop of Great Falls and then the overheating started making it tough to eat. I forced myself but still it was tough. By the time I got to Heathen I was really in bad shape. We ended up walking all of the nearly 15 miles to the finish. She was really awesome though, pushing me along and reminding me to drink and eat. Gave me s-caps which really kept me alive. Totally worth the couple of beers I had to buy at the end.
