Notes
That was fun in a hurty kind of way. Amazing views, cliffs, waterfalls, rushing rivers cutting gorges 200 feet deep and all that. It was pretty incredible. My pain at Marquette mentally prepared me for twice as hard but turned out not to be quite so bad. Still tough, very technical but I was prepared to run as much as possible. Unfortunately I started cramping at mile 36, and endured it off and on for the next 17. Up until then I was feeling strong and passing people, got to second place before the cramps set in. First 10 miles I ran with Joe and Greg from Marquette. They took off at the aid station while I hit the pit stop. Didn't see them until mile 17, and then Greg at mile 21 while I got my hand held taped (broke during a fall).
