Well this was humbling!! Thought I was in good shape until I started stumbling over these BRUTAL trails...I'm still aghast at how fast the Ultra heroes were up at the front! The race was very well organized and I found it easy to find everything despite my wretched, forgotten knowledge of Spanish. Also, after a fall my phone fell from my pocket and the organizers went above and beyond the call of duty to secure it for me. My only complaint: especially at the beginning many of the markings were hung in the branches. Nothing down near the ground. Tired runners look down, so...I missed three or four turns and so did many others. But this improved over the back half. Gorgeous scenery and VERY challenging. Not for first timers–you need to be really comfortable on rocky terrain. The aid stations were adequate, but I don't eat like everyone else so for most they were fine.

What a terrain!! My feet are still killing me!
