merigayle, I second that. I think around mile 40. I asked which way to go straight or right. The person maning the intersection pointed straight then changed her mind then pointed left.....Then changed her mind and pointed right. hahahhah! eeenie meeeenie minnnnie moe......I chose right and happened to guess right. hahahah! More to come when I write up a report. Only tip of the iceberg.
I scaled through patches of poison ivy on the side of an almost cliff, screaming at the top of my lungs waiting for a runner to call back so I could go where they were calling from.
more to come, sigh
(out of 4!) it is funny that i am on the leaderboard with my less than impressive finish time of just under 13 hours. I heard it was 98 or 100 with tons of humidity. The heat did not bother me as much as incompetant aid station people and poorly marked trails. lost of getting lost. It sucked. And iwas definitely not the only getting lost. I saw TIm a few times out there and he was looking great and running pretty far up front. I ran out of water several times and after the last aid station, they barely filled my camelbak up and i was out of water for the last 1.5 hours
