awesome as scenary, we went 650m above sea level at the highest point. also walked through the "craters of the moon" which was awesome! steam just comes out of the ground and craters. a couple of the legs were insanly tough! we totally nderestimated the race and didnt train enough  after 17 hours and (57.5km) @ 1.30am sunday morning our team couldnt go any further, our bodies couldnt take it. my knee had given up on me and was in the so much pain it was unbearable! it was as if someone was stabbing my knee with a knife. might still do it next year, but will train for atleast 10 months, you have to get your body used to it. | |
