Wow. What an incredible run! Spiritually, physically, and emotionally the best run I've ever had. I feel like my prep/taper was spot-on. There were only two notably dark moments. One was between aid stations 6-7 (miles 22-26.5). I was just getting beat up but then I made it to the halfway point, dropped off my flashlight, and felt refreshed. The second baaad part was between aid stations 14-15 (miles 42-46). Longest, hardest, most depressing 4 miles of my life. Snow, hills... Just bad. Then Trey of all people ran by and gave me some encouraging words. That really lifted my spirits and I pushed through and ran it all the way home from the last aid station! Over 10 miles of the course were covered in snow and made for some slow moving but I was still able to get very close to my goal time of 9 hours.

Incredible race and the view from the summit of Mt. Pleasant was indescribable. I hurt in every single part of my body and will definitely be missing at least one toenail soon but it was great. I'm glad it's over though! LUS complete!

Oh and I did the Iron Horse challenge which is max reps of Bench @ 135# right after you finish. I won the award! Not overall reps but they award it based on bodyweight, etc. Stoked!
