LOL Loved the re-enactment. I'm glad you survived and enjoyed it. I ran it as well. Like you said, it's one I'll never forget. With good weather. despite the hills, it's such a fun race.
That end scene was gold🙂. Congrats on finishing. I honestly can't say what I would have done in that situation - if I would have just called it quits and called someone to pick me up, or if I would have continued swimming on the roads. And yes, having a sleeping place super close to the start line is wonderful. The Whidbey Island Marathon last year, we stayed in our RV at the campground that's right next to the start line. It was a 2 minute walk from the camp spot to the start line. Super relaxed. Arizona was 2.5 miles, Uber failed, and so I had a running start for that race. I guess I can count that as my first ultra, right? 2.5 miles + 26.2 + 2 mile walk home (plus that final chute was probably a half mile long😀)
You totally did an ultra in Arizona!!! I couldn't believe how hard it was to get anywhere close to the start of the race! They should give you an extra medal for that! Someday if I do the Whidbey Island Marathon, we will have to do the campout for sure!
Just noting at 2:07 you cross over on that bridge into Newport, KY before crossing into Covington, KY over another bridge about 3/4 of a mile later. But hope you enjoyed the race.
Haha, I loved the first 4 miles, felt like a kid again trying to run home during a thunderstorm.
True, that's a good point! There was something about it that just made you have to laugh and just go for it!
Nice job! I love that reenactment scene 😂
