I completely understand what you mean by purgatory! When I did the Death Valley Century the first time, there was a section that felt like the road to nowhere. Time didn't seem to be passing, and the miles didn't seem to be passing. It was simply neverending! Good job for persevering and getting through it. You made it out and now you are stronger than when you went in!
