Midnight Run

77 ish miles- 46/31 I was so proud of this team! I hadn't intended to do any checkpoint runs this year so we didn't train camping out or resting. And our shortest turn around on rest was 8-10 hours not 5 1/2. A few bumps in the road but we finished! Just shy of 50 degrees at the finish line which caused the shortened return trip. Driving pack into Marquette the whole trail along the lake was asphalt and water.

Did stellar. Actually slept at the checkpoint amazingly and lead the team into Chatham.

Ran well- didn't feel well about 30 miles in and took a ride in the sled for about 30 minutes. Popped herself back out onto the team and finished strong.
