Now that looks like a tough race. I would like to do some endurance racing sometime, but that might be a little much.
He is totally right when he said that during long events you reach a dark place and you start to ask yourself why you did this. I ran the LA Marathon this year ( I know it does not compare to this), but at about mile 19 I felt really low and down. I thought about walking and almost giving up. I then saw a lady holding a sign that said "Only 0.1 of 1% of Americans could do what you are doing today". I found the motivation in that sign to push on to the finish.
