 Run
Comments: Twisted Ankle just above A-Frame so could no longer stay with group I was with. Ankle did not effect me for long, thankfully, but losing contact with folks I had determined were good steady but controlled downhill runners that I could stay just a way behind was a blow Really in no mans land after that, but used watch and did Math to try to push some, and mostly just keep head in the game. This is a LONG run, challenging the whole way. What would you do differently?: Lots of room for improvement, not the lest of which is just being healthy in the week(s) leading up to the run. At this point, would say I need longer, easier training. Back to basics Aerobic Capacity stuff. For a first outing, at this level of challenge with the incredible downhill, and 'week-of-run' complications, I did very well, controlled pace, pushed, worked nutrition & Hydration Up and Down. Overall good run, but room for improvement is there.  Post race
Warm down: A little Hydration and Nutrition, ease to park, walk to car as spotty rain came. What limited your ability to perform faster: Are you kidding? Read my Dashboard. I had no business doing this run, and now I'll probably do it again, maybe even double. Event comments: Oh if you want 'America's Ultimate Challenge' here it is. No other Marathon in the World has a 10 Hour Cutoff... this one does. Come get some! Last updated: 2014-04-28 12:00 AM

Concussion on Sunday a week before run when walked upstairs hungry in the nigh. Remember resting my head on Counter, then seemed like I was asleep for a long time when I woke up pretty disoriented on Parquet floor of Kitchen. Wife says I repeated the story to her many times in 20mins before going to sleep, like bu repeating the story I was trying to figure out what had happened.
Saw Doc and Started Giardia treatment Tuesday, which resolved by Thursday from double-dosing the Meds.
So pretty weak, and got to top slowest ALL YEAR.
Leaves a lot of room for improvement.
Hit Hydro at exact pace I wanted, and was dead last for a bit just before Cog Railway. Did not expect that, but it was fun passing folks all day.
