wow - you knocked it out. having done one lap helps me appreciate the feat! For some of those 'climbs' and descents, it would have been handy to have a rope and belay. A lot of hard work for an ultra.
AR/orienteering skillz came in handy for sure! that second lollipop was my favorite, w the creek and the crazy steep/off-camber climb. gotta say, i was glad to have the time and space of the 12hr, can't imagine trying to negotiate at speed with a crowd of other people! well done!
