100 miles - Cliff Notes
I'm going to write a couple of recaps, so let’s start with the Cliff Notes version. Is that still a thing? It is today. It took me about 48 hours to complete 100 miles. I've been quiet on training reports even though I started 6 months ago and diligently hammered out the miles week in, week out. No matter how much I was doing I never felt like it was enough. I had no blisters during BLU. That's unheard of for me so if you too are horribly blister prone, there is hope. I used Trail Toes for lubricant, taped my feet with Leukotape and inserted ENGO patches in my shoes well before the race. I also relaced my shoes for high arches. NO Vaseline, it actually causes blisters. See book - Fixing Your Feet by John Vonhof. Although I changed out my socks and re-taped my feet several times, I wore the same pair of shoes (Hoka Cliftons) the entire race because I couldn't believe I wasn't getting blisters and was afraid to change them....
