Wow that’s so inspiring! And sounds so incredibly difficult. I love these mantras of yours, “I accept reality. I find creative solutions. I adjust expectations.” Just brilliant. I am in awe of your mental toughness.

Wow Allison! What a great story. I love your grit, I love your problem solving, I love your post race analytics. As far as placement goes: even in a 100 mile race (that sounds short now doesn't it?) LOTS of things can wrong, I can't imagine 250+. The carnage at the front can happen at any time! Of the top 10 overall through Camp Wamatochick, half would drop from the race! The rain, HAIL?!? Arizona can throw anything and everything at you. Sticky gooey mud, cold, heat, flash floods.

You just don't know... You just kept fighting. It sounds like you are content with your results, looking back, and you should be. Wow, just crazy that through two MAJOR issues like hypo and hyper, you did it!

HUGE congrats to you and your crew!
