31:55:07 (DONE!)
I prepared. I ran. I finished.
Badwater 135 is done. It took me 31:55:07 and I fought nearly every minute of those hours. I finished in 18th place, behind and in front of a whole bunch of amazing athletes. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to participate in an event with those runners.
As usual, I’ll publish a full (and long) race report once I get my thoughts together, but for now, I want to thank Aaron, Billy, Colin, Elizabeth and Sally for getting me (and pushing me) across that finish line. They were an amazing crew and did everything they could to make that finish possible.
I’m also incredible grateful to all the people from all over the place who sent love and encouragement in every imaginable way during and after the race. If you want to see an amazing display of support, check out the hashtag Twitter or Instagram. Or take a peek at my Facebook page. Wow.
