The race was absolutely brutal, both mentally and physically. The first 18 miles is largely uphill on loose gravel which slowly drains you of energy. After you get through that there is more of it, along with rock fields of various types, steep ascents and steeper descents. Add to that, much of the terrain is littered with crushed beer cans and spent shotgun shells.

All of that aside, the course was very well marked and the support staff on course were extraordinarily kind and supportive.
