I’d rather not say on a public forum or else I might expose myself to a Google search. It was my first one, just to see if I could push myself to complete it. Dry heaving, hard to keep food down, and felt like I was going to die at the end - but I wanted to finish and I did. 
I was immobilized for 2 days and it hurt to walk 5 days after. I’m actually training for a 100-miler for a race next summer, hopefully I don’t get injured. The 50-to-60 mile/week training eases the psychological pain of my job.
