Took off BlegMitts, Cap, and took down wetsuit to waist mid lap due to heat.
- I had more than enough of everything including: I purchased $60 worth of food and $30 worth of gus/gels/bars, I ate about 25% of it. I had an additional Hyperflex wetsuit layer I never had to use.
- I jumped off The Cliff 4 times total (Laps 6-9).
- I thankfully avoided my biggest fear, which was suddenly having to poop and going in my wetsuit.
- My Garmin Fenix 3 battery in UltraTrac mode lasted the entire time.
- The first place we went after the event was Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop. Visit Capriotti’s while in Henderson, tell them I sent you.

Thanks for the recap! It’s nice to have just the basics sometimes instead of over-explanation of every mile and every gear item. Well done!
