A2A was last October, and I still can’t quite believe it happened. This post has actually been months in the making because, quite frankly, it’s all a damp blur. What I do remember is that it took place in the middle of a tropical depression, that I was alone the majority of the race, and lying in the fetal position in a puddle screaming in pain at the end. I also remember all of this being entirely worth it and one of the most fun things I’ve ever done in my life. - Sarai Pegram
