Running race 26:44:11 [3]
I'll try to write a race report at some point, but logging the time for now.
Overall I'm really lucky to have such amazing friends who travelled with me down to this event and spent the whole day/night supporting me and didn't ask for anything back. The experience was worth every minute including the heat as I got the full Western States experience.
Also I can't forget Sam Fiandaca who I befriended during the training camp and let me use him as a pacer to keep my pace slow during the heat of the day. I felt bad when I learned he got cut off, but he's more experienced at this than I am, and he'll be back next year.
Finally, Kristen and Aubrey who supported me chasing this race, preparing for the race and running the race. I'm really lucky all around.
