Tackling my 6th ultra marathon can be summed up in about three ideas:
- Deception Pass is a brilliant place to run trails, and Rainshadow Running does a bang-up job of putting on a running event
- I crashed about as hard as I ever have while running, and buggered up my bad shoulder real bad like.
- This event wasn't raced as much as it was experienced and enjoyed, if you can ever enjoy suffering in an ultra.
I was super jacked to run Whidby Island on new trails. Those trails did not disappoint. Deception Pass was absolutely stunning.
