Well, I finished! The weather was perfect - highs in the mid-seventies with some wind. I left Davis High School at 4:30 am and returned 199.14 miles later at 8:30 pm. My average was 15.9 miles per hour. I never really suffered, but climbing the last two major hills (Top of the Davis Double and Resurrection) was a challenge. I did not cramp, nor did my feet or knees give me any serious pain. All in all, this may have been the best double I have ever done! And I own it all to training! I'll post more, including a link to a more complete write-up later.
