I'm very new to this distance, especially on the trails. Was not expecting that much of a mental battle here to be involved, but we got it done. My very first ultramarathon race I've taken a part of. I definitely underestimated this distance and though relatively short compared to other ultras out there, this was one of the most difficult races I've ran. Learned a lot from this race and even got lost in the process.

As a newbie, I got a heck of a good experience from this race and I look forward (and a bit anxious/nervous/scared) to racing in the Kodiak 100K and how much more I can push myself.

Enjoy! Big thanks again for Aaron for coming with and supporting. He ran the 15K and crushed it.
