I had to drop at townes Pass as i never quite recovered from blacking out at mile 27 Followed Ben's advice (ice bath re-hydration) but at crews request stopped at 50.5 miles
I learned a lot and will go back for another shot

John and I drove out and looked for you for two days. Sorry we missed you. Maybe next year???
