"Executive summary: It was fun. It was beautiful. It was challenging, no,
strike that, it was hard. It went reasonably well for about 65 miles. Then it
got ugly. Then it got very ugly. Then it got stupefying, Bataan death march,
lurching, staggering, crying-for-yo'-mama-in-the-middle-of-the-night ugly. That
went on for several more hours and then I finished . . . ." John
