What an epic adventure! Had a great time exploring the city and pushing through the ups and downs that come with ultra running. The midday heat was rough and definitely slowed me down, but I rallied after the sun went down and finished strong. Big thanks to Zach Conklin for pacing me for 20 miles and to my lovely wife for being my crew for the last third of the run. I started and finished at the Grand Rounds sign that is at the roundabout at Minnehaha Falls. I ran the St. Paul loop first in a clockwise direction followed by the Minneapolis loop counter-clockwise. I ran the first 40 miles pushing a jogging stroller that held my water, food, and ice. After that, my wife was able to meet up with me, so I traded the stroller for a running vest. She helped re-supply me two times in the last 25 miles.
