I finished this race. I love this race. My head went to some very dark, strange places in this race. I'm not ready to publish a blog post that includes the details of where my head went on that day, but I'm also not willing to tell the story without them. Thank you for reading.
I can tell you that I got lost a lot and met a porcupine. They are bigger than you might think.
EDIT: July 11, 2015
I got to look at everything I want to do, but know that I should not do, for 19.5 straight hours. My brain did that to me, despite me knowing that it was happening and doing everything I could to redirect my thoughts. It was fucking hell, but I won. I finished the race and did none of those things. I am going back for more this year. The cutoffs are shorter and harsher. I would not have made them either of my first two years. This year I will have to be much faster, and not get lost. I believe that I can finish Wild Duluth 100k in 18 hours or less, and I intend to prove it.
