It’s an EC, so you can include it there.

Regardless of your times, it is an EC that positively reflects commitment, determination and focus. There is no need to include your times. The activity in and of itself is worthwhile.

Cool. They don’t have time to look up your times and they don’t care. It’s a nice EC.

For something that is difficult enough that few attempt it, completing it is still a very high achievement.

This is a very good summary of what I was thinking.

To be able to complete even one ultramarathon, regardless of your time, takes a lot of training and dedication and commitment. That same level of dedication and commitment could potentially lead to success in a lot of areas in life.
