We went out to Moab to get away from the winter of Denver (all the snow). I wasn't really in shape to go 34 miles, but I decided to do it anyway. The first half of the race was pretty easy with a long climb leading up to the second aid station and a long downhill leading to the third aid station. Then we stated the steep and long climb up to the fourth aid station. I had to walk a lot of this, and it took its toll. The section from to the fifth aid station was all on the slickrock above Moab and it was really tough on my legs. This made the last six miles to the finish really hard for me. It ended up as my longest run both distance and time wise.
