Alive and kickn'

Hey all,
I’m still alive and walking. I managed to finish the race with a time of 11 hours and 55 minutes. The race has a cutoff of 12 hours so I just barely managed to make it. Regardless, of the time I still can’t believe I finished. Around 15k my right leg started to get a cramp and it lingered the majority of the race. Luckily, they had volunteers that would rub down your legs with ice and oil to help work out cramps. I don’t think I could have finished without them. The race is like nothing I have every conquered before. It was physically and mentally one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done, but I’ve already told myself that I will be back next year for the up run.The rest of my trip is going great. I’ve landed in a small town called Coffee Bay, and I’m enjoying a bit of rest. I’ll be in South Africa for the rest of the month then I’m off to Kenya and Tanzania.
