ooh boy what a day, apparently I had forgotten how bad ultras hurt. conditions were pretty adverse compared to my previous experience (first hot and humid long race), and there was a nice little lightning storm from miles ~39-44 just to spice things up. 

despite all the suffering though, it was a really fucking (type 2) fun day. for the first time ever, I successfully bullied friends (Patrick Couchot Julia Ho Christopher Tritt Mike Grudić)  into running a big race with me. seeing my people out there on the course also going through it™️ really did make it that much better :) 

overall 10/10 terrible (but great) time 

p.s. - camping the night before and after an ultra is definitely a choice
