BOOYAH. That’s the 2026 Lea Valley 50K – my first (and not inconceivably last) #ultra done & dusted. It was ugly and graceless, and I was a hot mess deee-lux, but it was fun, FSVO “fun,” and finished, which is all I really cared about.

Now to sleep for three days straight.

Thanks so much to everyone at Camino, all the volunteers at the aid stations, and everyone who fist-bumped me on final approach. Thanks also to the excellent catte I saw lounging on the fo’c’s’le of a canal boat, who gave me life.
Finally, this sign is for @paternoster.
