Notes
Awesome race. Felt really good, had a blast, stayed on top of my nutrition (no falls!), and hydrated well. Attacked the trail when I could and walked when I had to. I did have to jump off the trail for a bathroom break with about 2 miles to go, and then, only drinking water came back to bite me in the ass when I got an awful calf cramp as I was bending down to try and adjust my sock. Was laid up on a rock for a few minutes trying to get that to stop and took a salt pill and then continued on... quite a bit slower than before because I was afraid of waking the cramp dragon again.
Almost 30 minutes faster than last year. All-in-all a GREAT day and I think just maybe I've got my love and confidence back. YAY!
