... but me and one other did 50k despite the sleety showers not long before we set off. We got very wet, and filthy (with a nice mud/cowshit mix), and my feet were so sore when the circulation finally returned in the shower afterwards, but we rocked .

Tried a Clif bar for the first time too - yummy!!! - and with the temp just above freezing and drink bottles splattered with the aforementioned mud/cowshit, much more appealing than sipping electrolyte .

Happy to say no lightning strikes. That would freak me out
