Total Distance
62.00

This was the hardest run both mental and physical I have ever done, but the most rewarding accomplishment and look forward to running more ultra trail runs again. course was amazing and amazingly hard and steep as some sections took over an hour just to do 3 miles because it was so steep. Just briefly for now, I set a goal to run this in 14 hours and I dont know how it was possible to run 62 miles and  be with in 20 sec of goal time.  Ran a 14:00:20 and finished 30 OA and 2nd in my AG.

More to come later

Awesome race. I have really wanted to run that one. Nice job on the pacing. It is always hard to set a time goal on a ultra especially when it is a trail ultra.
