Thank you so much for sharing this! I love this alternate way of competing. I signed up for my first race and have been looking at longer options as I train. I love this perspective on getting involved in long distance events.
I love the version of this you shared! I’ve done a 50-mile race, and I can relate to all the emotions and experiences you described. Well done! Friends make it better for sure.
I did 50 miles in 2020 with a bunch of friends - all of our races were canceled that year so we went out as a group and did 50 miles on the Ice Age Trail. We had the best weather and we just talked and laughed and shared the joy of the adventure the whole time. If I tried it alone it never would have happened.
The downside of it is when I get tired, I really really get tired. That was one of my biggest fears going into this race - what to do when I get very tired. Apparently the answer was to fall asleep for five minutes with a cup of coffee in my hand at an aid station. :D

I love it, super impressive
That is indeed a great superpower I wish I had!
