Hood 2 Coast unofficial results

First of all, I'm exhausted. There's not much that teases the human body more than staying up all night and wanting to crash, but instead, running as fast as you can every five to six hours.

I will update this blog with more of the stories from the race later (when I wake up mentally), but I wanted to at least give you guys the unfficial results of the event. As you can see, we placed third overall behind the Brroks and Nike teams. They were amazing. Our team averaged roughly a 5:25 per mile pace throughout the entire 197-mile course, which says a lot about the even faster times the other teams had. We lost some time (approximately 6 minutes) due to a human relay exchange point error and a leg injury suffered by one of our runners, but those types of mistakes were not uncommon in this type of long sleep-deprived, adrenaline-rushed event, especially for a team participating in it for the first time.

We bonded as a team and everybody gave it their all. It is an experince I would recommend everybody does at some point in their lives. I can't wait to do it again. Below are the race results of the top 20 teams overall.
