I think I may have been an unreported #58. I felt terrible all day yesterday. Running that with a hangover was probably the worst decision I've ever made.

I saw a few people sitting/laying down in the shade on the trail. From previous experience, you do not want to sit and rest...it become almost impossible to get back up and move again.
I started the race at about a 7 minutes/mile pace. That lasted until the first obstacle...I took it pretty easy the rest of the way. The heat was ridiculous at times.
