I had considered signing up for the 10 there and even asked a friend who DNF'd it why the DNF rate is so high. This kind of explains it! Great report, Sarah!

Sand and slickrock are the perfect ingredients for a slow meditative race. Adding in a cold rain? Maybe not so much.

Speaking of, have you ever done the Water is Life race? Nothing posted about 2023 yet.
