ultramarathon

Not sure where the camera is, but when I find it I'll add photos!

Anyways, in a nutshell the race was hard. Much harder than I was expecting it to be. I have to give a huge thanks to all of the volunteers at the aid stations. I felt like I was checking in to a five star hotel,
"Do you want a cool sponge bath?"
"How about some M & Ms?"
"Let me refill all of your bottles and put ice in your hat."
They were awesome and knew just what I needed, I couldn't be more thankful for them.

There are only two points you can drive to and watch.

One is at the start/finish (Pine Valley Bible Center) directions here.

In the words of Nate, "That was miserable, just miserable." I don't really feel the need to give a play-by-play of Saturday's 13.1 mile "time trial," but I did learn some valuable lessons:

I was about halfway through Born to Run when I made the decision to train and run an ultramarathon. As soon as I made the decision I contacted my friends Aubyn and Kath. Kath has done a lot of ultras and some on CrossFit Endurance (CFE) training alone, and I know Aubyn was interested.
