Wife and I were there. To set the scene I've covered 160kms total of run training since end of July, missus was probably beginning of July, so we knew this was going to be a slog. We started Fri as we'd need every minute of the time available. It didn't seem terribly hot temp wise, but as I learned the hot dry wind really dehydrated me more than I thought. Between 40 and 50kms I went from hero to flat on my back, once again unable to keep anything down. Long sad story short we both ended the day on 60km,plan was for 2 days of 80. Sat was better, I was surprised how well we had both recovered, I got through 80, if I were alone I may have pushed for the final loop that night but there was no need really. Missus only manged 60 again with a bit of a breakdown mid way but thanks to some epic support from the kzntr and trail labs guys she got moving again. Sun then I only needed 20 to finish, wife cracked on through a long 40kms well withing the cutoff like a champ. Her first time covering 100 miles. Venue, aid stations, route, organization, all top notch I thought. A really great weekend, some tough spots but mostly really good.
