Oh wow what an adventure.  Set out aiming for sub 62 hours and was on pace for the first half starting down the west side, tried to sleep for 4 hours after the first 50 miles around 1 am and I spent 3 hours of it just a little too cold and had the slight leg cramp with every movement.  I put on all my layers and was able to get 1 good hour in and felt pretty solid through the next 35 ish miles then when I got to Monarch I should’ve taken more water through the dry section but thought I could fill up at the ski resort which everything was indeed dry.  There is also a new reroute that takes you away from fooses creek when you get off the divide for and extra 3ish miles than last year and that really messed me up after rationing the little water I had to get to that point.  Once I got to the water I knew it would have been very tough to keep the pace since I had been cooked from that section but I tried to stay focused thru the long down hill.  I got to 53 ish miles that day around 2:30am and my left knee had been bothering me pretty bad for an hour or so but I knew I could only really afford 1-2 hours of sleep right then to stay on pace.  I layed down and again in the usual leg cramp pain for the first little while then when my alarm went off at 4:15 my knee instantly hurt when I barely shifted so I thought that was no good and tried to sleep a little more hoping it would disappear.  I started going at about 5:30 and was just very sluggish and zombish for most all of that day and couldn’t get going again.  I stopped around 10:30 pm after a pretty slow 36 miles that day and took 6 hours of needed sleep to knock out the last 20 ish this morning.  I’m super happy I was able to push through and still finish even after knowing the time was out of reach. I learned countless lessons and little things about a longer unsupported effort and I now feel much more confident to just go out and try anything.  Was also able to improve on my supported time a few years ago by 36 hours while going unsupported this time.  Such a great loop and I’m very thankful to be capable of experiencing it.
