Every other week, we bring you a wonderfully entertaining, low stakes, absolutely no shame story of a DNF in the ultramarathon, sub-ultra, FKT, or thru-hike world.

It actually means did not finish, but that is applicable to our episode today, just to give you a little foreshadowing.

Uh, we are accepting DNF stories through our email, dnfconfessions@gmail.com, or you can slide into our DMs on Instagram at dnf.diaries.

We love to see photos of these DNFs, and we like to use them as the cover photos for the episode.

So otherwise, I'm just gonna make an AI photo, and nobody wants to use AI in this day and age.
