X-league at McMaster. No oomph in the legs at all, so just tried to keep a steady pace and read ahead. Flow felt good.

Spartan Ultra Beast
That was tough. Really, it was a hilly ultra with a few distractions here and there.
2 loops of the Beast course with an extra 2km of carries after the first loop.
These carries were hard, vets were saying it was the hardest course they'd ever down. Multiple times up and down the hill carrying heavy logs, tires and dragging stones.
The main course was up and down Mont Sainte Marie 3.5 times with some really nice sections of total off-trail running and single track with the usual obstacles, rope climb, monkey bars, platinum rig with a couple of new ones; the infinity wheels - a row of monkey bar hamster wheels and this weird A-frame where you had to climb up zig-zagging either side of each bar (kinda like a snake would)
Think I've got the whole food thing down now with what works for me. Food was cold pizza and old man high calorie drink which I can get down pretty easily. Started to cramp up towards the end of the first loop, but slowed down and made sure I got an SI tab in every 45 mins to an hour.
Glad I did this and got it done, not sure if I want to do another Ultra Beast. The 2nd loop wasn't super fun knowing what was coming and there were a few sections I would have liked to run.
