I doubt I'll do a full write up but, in short, Bright Midnight was a blast.
Absolutely loved the route and don't know if I could have picked a better first ultra. Even in the pouring rain, with aching knees and generally smelling absolutely atrocious, the scenery was so varied and impressive that any "fuck this" thoughts were instantly dismissed.
Was overbiked for most of the route, had a blast on the hike a bike sections, first time I've done any long climbs or descents, ate so much junk, met some great people but avoided any drama, rode through a couple of nights, camped, cabin-ed and treated myself to a fancy hotel, saw a snake, met a corgi, completely forgot about work, was the only person with panniers #onelesstailfin.
Justinas is the nicest guy and I really hope this event runs again.
