Fifth time is the charm for me, but finally got a buckle at Devil Dog this weekend. Feeling pretty sore and limping around today, but overall very pleased that I managed to avoid another DNF!

    Awesome, unbelievable, congratulations! I have so many questions that I could probably Google, but I’d love to hear about your experience if that’s okay. When would you eat and sleep and how do you plan that across a hundred mile course? How do you graduate from marathons to even consider a challenge like this? What goes on in your mind when you hit a wall or do you even get those at your level?

      Thank you! I had a timer to eat something every 45 min, no sleep which was tough towards the end. It’s very different from a marathon, you’re going slower and it’s a lot more about keeping consistent with eating and caring for small things early. This was late in the season so cold and wet!
