I’m writing this race report in 2025, eight years after the 2017 race. I took a remarkable amount of notes immediately after I finished Moab 240 that year. I took those notes because I knew I had been drawn into this new 200-mile world, and I wanted to capture the moment while I was still close to it. I’m using those notes as the sole basis for this story. I drew some conclusions after the race in 2017 that I no longer believe in 2025, but I will call out those discrepancies as they occur. I want to tell the story as I understood it at the time while highlighting the lessons I’ve learned in the years since then. Join me…
