Missed some posting opps as a result of no service between legs 20 and 33.
Leg 22 can best be described as a two-lane "highway" surrounded by dark, dense woods and no street lights or volunteers. The stretches of solo running were pretty freaky and i literally sprinted as much as possible in order to find other runners who matched my pace and wouldnt mind me running close enough so as to feel slightly more comfortable and relAxed. The scene would've been beautiful, but i couldnt appreciate it due to the fear that i felt at every random noise or rustling. I turned my music down and kept checking my surroundings, esp since the headlamp cut off my peripheral vision.
My body went into auto pilot and my legs just kept going, they became numb to the soreness i felt and continued to pound the pavement until making it to the exchange.
The experience was scary and surreal, completely different than i had imagined, but overall totally worth it!!
