I feel confident that I could have gotten through it, but it may have taken much more drastic measures, such as bivying for a short time until I could warm up my extremities. That was an eye-opener. It was my first winter ultra where I wasn't alone, and it made a big difference.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-84039980224902022392011-02-23T23:35:10.111-07:002011-02-23T23:35:10.111-07:00I turned back to him.

Hubby and I are the same way, zipping up coats, pulling things from the other's backpack. I'm glad you've found one that is just as nuts as you are! :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01212228308225991239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-67186123217575680152011-02-23T23:05:49.667-07:002011-02-23T23:05:49.667-07:00Fantastic report, more thrilling than any detectiv...Fantastic report, more thrilling than any detective story!
