Run: Race Previous Next

Notes

GPS ran for just under 17 hours. Below is info from tracking at the race with some of my notes attached. I am very proud of this finish, I never considered dropping but I did doubt ability to finish, I had lots of problems and struggled to deal with the trail conditions very well. Looks like the finish rate at the race was under 50%. As I type this on Monday I'm stiff, my feet bottoms are swollen and very tender, but my hip is feeling much better and I am walking better.
