Report

I decided to take the harder route and start from the coast and head inland. I had two running buddies start with me, Fernando and Chris. Chris ran the first 10 miles with us and then turned around and went home and Fernando ran the whole route with me. I had studied the route extensively beforehand. We did miss a turn at El Sicomoro and had to double back to get back on the correct route. The majority of the route we did carry our own supplies. I had my wife meet us at mile 22.5 and we refilled our water bottles for the last leg of the trip. For the most part the run went smoothly. I did start to hurt really bad about mile 27 right before we headed up Raptor Ridge. My stomach started to turn and I felt like I was going to throw-up I ran, walked, or hiked up the hill. My stomach started to feel better after climbing Raptor Ridge and I suffered from really tired legs to the finish.
