"I had an awesome time." "I know you had an awesome time. The entire town knows you had an awesome time." #OldSchool Wow the inaugural Denali 100 was incredible! I finished the 100 mile self-supported journey in 28:57 (a missed bus stop and searching for water to filter really added up and the distance ended up being 105 miles according to my watch 😳). Our dropbags in the bear-proof garbage cans made excellent aid stations and although we only caught a glimpse of the peak through the clouds, the weather was superb. Tragically @bretski1 "only" made it 78 miles before dropping out to take a bus in for some medical care, and it was a hard to run alone those last 30ish miles. Miraculously @kileyanng and @alexisj3 arrived with our families at the park just in time and a big cheering section awaited me at the finish! Also a HUGE shout out to the many smiles and friendly waves from fellow park guests, as well as the incredible park rangers and staff of @denalinps for their hard work keeping Denali National Park preserved for future generations and hopefully iterations of the Denali 100! #Denali100 #FindYourPark #HumansofDenali (at Denali National Park and Preserve)
