Crossing the finish line after 100 miles, the feeling can’t really be put into words:
Elated, elevated, relieved, proud, grateful, high, in pain, happy, sad, confident, beat down, appreciation, love, respect, friendship, closeness
All these (and more) mixed together into one potion that gets blasted throughout the mind, body, and spirit.
Embracing this finish with some food and a beer.
Running 100 miles isn’t easy, and given enough time with the right training , I feel like most people could achieve this goal
And should at least experience constantly moving throughout the day, night, and day again.
There’s something about being so beat down, yet continuing to move forward.
Until next time.
Post race reflections to come.
