Was about 2-3 minutes late to the start because I missed a turn in the dark jogging over from our campsite and then got trapped behind the ENTIRE field on narrow trails 🤦. Oh well, for a race this long, it was probably a good thing to take it out extra slow. And despite the fact that I only got about 3-4 hours of sleep last night, this race was AWESOME! It was hard for sure, but the ultra atmosphere is incredible. People are so supportive and friendly, and this park is a beaut. Plus, every race should have soda at the aid stations! I'm happy with how this went, and regardless of the unfortunate circumstances (including constant rain all of last night muddying parts of the course), I don't think I could've done any better. I finished 9th overall and won the 20-24M age group with a (net?) time of 5:12:13. Oh, and one more thing, thank God I came to my senses and dropped from the 50 Mile race to the 50K -- it would've been a much less fun experience otherwise. 5 hours of running at one time is enough for where I'm at right now lol
