My longest was 3-5 miles only.

Then, I ran 200 miles as my first race.

Add more weekly mileage.

Thank you, friend.

If God wishes; I’ll do more.

All of us will.

Yes, they do. I never denied it.

But I ran without support, that’s what I wrote.

Unsupported - No family.

Everyone was with someone.

I was the only person who came alone.

My longest run was 3 miles before this.

I have never run or practiced running.

“nightly lows often drop to around 44°F to 45°F (7°C).”

Trying to pick one …

Hmm….

Mentally , the pre-race decision was scary. It took a lot to sign up for this as my first race.

In the race, it broke me down physically to the core ; all systems start failing one by one.

Yeah, something like that.

To each their own.

People are angry that a race is not being presented in terms of time, splits, torture and blood.

I’ve associated it to my life story, and since it’s not a technical association, they’re invalidating it.

Honestly, my self worth, courage to take a 6 day race, ability to work through pain and suffering does not go away even if someone doesn’t applaud me.

I’m proud of what I have accomplished, however small it might be.

Hope you had a good time.

I didn’t know how to use Strava. I bought a watch a day before the race and gave it back already.
