12 hours and 30+ miles through constant rain, endless mud, and temperatures decreasing from 55°F to 48°F. On the first lap, I battled slippery mud slides down hills and a constant rain in 48°F weather that made most of the climbing obstacles nearly impossible to complete. Once I made it to the halfway point, I spent less than 5 min in the transition area fueling up and didn’t sit by the fire the staff had started so as to not get too comfortable. The second lap was brutal. I was cold to the core and zombie-like for a portion as I honestly can’t remember the walk between miles 27 and 29. I also lost count of how many burpees I had done after 360… But as soon as I saw the A-Frame Cargo and fire jump in the distance, I knew it had been worth it.
