Oh so it's a night time trail race. Makes a little more sense now. Pretty unconventional first Marathon for sure. I would go crazy waiting around until 10 pm to start the race, haha.

Got a goal pace/time in mind? If you were able to knock out 20 miles in 2:45 in this heat, that’s solid.

I went out for a long run a couple days ago thinking I could hit 14 miles when it was 88 degrees and 85% humidity. I was wrong.

The entire route was a 3.25 mile straight away sidewalk and we went out and back 8 times. I ran the entire time and had to will myself through the final 9 miles - my mindset was “just make it to the next aid station.” I severely underestimated how difficult this would be and finished in 4 hours

4 hours on that in July is impressive.

Especially with as little prep and background he had.
Kudos dude
How do you feel about doing another again?

I would like to try one during the day with a more scenic route, I think that might be a better experience. Unless you’ve done one, I don’t think anyone can actually understand how difficult it is to run 26 straight miles - not stopping and walking here and there - running the entire time

I’m in Fort Lauderdale and the Dew Point has been 75+ every morning. Did five miles in DC a few weeks ago and it was perfect out. Felt like a million bucks.
Two days later, went for a long run back in Fort Lauderdale, lasted two miles and said F it. It’s miserable, like running through mud in a steam room.
Props to OP for finishing 26 miles! I’m training for my first half in October, going to be rough.
