LOL, yup, one of those days where even finishing seemed like a stretch goal. I was really pleased at how scenic it turned out to be, a day full of surprises.
Wishing you the biggest congratulations on yet another 100 mile journey, Adrian. Your ability to push through pain with your incredible mental fortitude couldn't be more impressive.
Thanks, that's nice to hear. It's funny how, with a little time away, all I can remember are the good times and the pain feels like it happened to someone else :)
@@adrian_powell Even if you felt like the pain happened to you, that would be an okay thing. That said, I'm glad you feel that way. You inspire me endlessly, especially to finish this journey with your previous longest run being 12K.
Congrats! I wonder if we ran together - we certainly were close when running towards Virgin Dam A/S (you actually have a few shot of me up ahead filming/running - white/pink shirt with silly white desert hat). Anyhow, congrats, beautiful race and thanks for sharing :)
Thanks! It was only when I got to editing that I realized how hard it was going to be to properly identify everyone out there, even people that I leapfrogged a bunch. Your videos look wild, definitely going to check them out.
It was actually pretty decent weather, considering. Daily highs were about 75F/24C and nighttime lows of 43F/6C, at least that's what they reported in the nearby city. Probably hotter in the valley & in direct sun, a little cooler on the mesas. For me, coming from the NW Pacific Coast where we don't do warmth or sun, it was plenty warm :)
Kudos 🎉
Oh man that looks awesome!
What a journey! Beautiful area! Well done, especially considering the training that didn't necessary go into this run.

Excuse me. What temperature did it get to? Sorry I was 9 in 1969 when N.Z dropped Imperial for Metric! Looks tough course mate. Well done.
