The Cocodona 250 might have been a disappointment for Courtney Dauwalter, but the desert race turned out some big success stories, including new course records on both the men's and the women's sides.
All eyes were on Dauwalter as the reigning queen of ultra attempted her first 250-mile race, and at the 100-mile mark, she was in the overall lead. After 20 hours and 108 miles, however, Dauwalter DNF'd, pointing to what she called "total body shutdown" at the 108-mile mark.
