After gaining a place through the race lottery at the start if the year, we had originally planned to take a family trip down to the states for this hugely popular event. A mixture of reasons prevented us from making it - including a slow recovery from the Midnight Moose, combined with getting sick in October and not being able to run for 2 weeks. This is the first time that I Did Not Start (DNS) an event I had entered, and I was frustrated at missing the deferment window and not being able to find anyone to transfer my entry to, but it just wasn't to be.
I'd still like to participate in this event one day. I've heard a lot of good things about it, but I'll go when I'm properly prepared and ready to race. Better a DNS than a DNF!
