Once you finish the dash you get a beer.

Probably wouldn't attempt the dash sloshed. It was tough enough trying to stay hydrated.

As of 11am on Sunday, there was said to be at least 30 people who had passed out from the heat. I saw a couple go down in person.

If you weren't a dumbass and stayed hydrated...it was a fun race.

I heard on the news last night that 57 people were treated for heat related illnesses and 13 went to the hospital. They canceled all waves after 2 PM upon strong suggestion from the fire department and EMTs.

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.
