Congratulations on completing the course. I was on point 5 (mile 11) as a course safety. I saw some really bad techniques of foot care out there. Everything from cotton socks, 100 mph tape for pre-treating hot spots, popping blisters before the hump was even half way finished and marchers wearing worn out JUMP BOOTS on the course.
It really made you humble (and your heart swell with pride) to see the Wounded Warriors out there pushing themselves. I would point them out to the young health military males who wanted to quit the course when the only thing they were suffering from was small heart syndrome.
It is amazing how many fat, out of shape people think they can just show up, knock out a 26 miler in the desert and not have it hurt the body.
