SLUG 50K: Fun Run
ebuckley
| 1. | Started real easy in a 4-man group with David White, Paul Shoenlab, and Andrew Karandjeff. | ||||||
| 2. | |||||||
| 3. | Andrew & I split from the other two. | ||||||
| 4. | |||||||
| 5. | Stopped for water (about 10s). | ||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | Big surge by Andrew, I decided not to follow. | ||||||
| 8. | Stopped for water. | ||||||
| 9. | |||||||
| 10. | Stopped for water. Paul caught back up, but stopped to take off his jacket. | ||||||
| 11. | |||||||
| 12. | Reversed loop direction (we did this every hour). Andrew was half a lap up. Paul about 30 seconds back. | ||||||
| 13. | Grabbed a gu and ate it on the loop. | ||||||
| 14. | Stopped for water. | ||||||
| 15. | |||||||
| 16. | Andrew lapped me! I wasn't worried because I knew he was planning to stop at 20 miles. | ||||||
| 17. | |||||||
| 18. | Stopped for water. | ||||||
| 19. | |||||||
| 20. | Stopped for water. | ||||||
| 21. | Paul was still hanging about 20 seconds behind, so I started a surge to see if he was serious about staying with me. | ||||||
| 22. | |||||||
| 23. | Reveresed loop direction again. Andrew had backed off a bit and wasn't too far ahead (although still +1 laps). Paul had dropped back a bit, so I pushed a bit more to get a decent gap. | ||||||
| 24. | |||||||
| 25. | Stopped for water. | ||||||
| 26. | Caught Andrew to get back on lead lap. Decided I had enough of a gap on Paul to return to my regular pace. | ||||||
| 27. | |||||||
| 28. | |||||||
| 29. | My hands were getting a bit stiff, so operating the water spigot was difficult. I switched to carrying my water bottle. Took it for a full lap and drank quite a bit. | ||||||
| 30. | |||||||
| 31. | Another gu. | ||||||
| 32. | Saw Andrew packing it in at the feed station. He had run a few easy laps to cool down after his 20, so I wasn't far behind when he stopped. He wished me well. | ||||||
| 33. | Reversed direction again. | ||||||
| 34. | |||||||
| 35. | Carried the bottle again. | ||||||
| 36. | |||||||
| 37. | Carried water bottle. | ||||||
| 38. | Hit marathon distance at 3:34:40 - a trail PR! | ||||||
| 39. | Decided to see how much was left in the tank, so dropped the pace again. | ||||||
| 40. | Another Gu. | ||||||
| 41. | |||||||
| 42. | Carried water bottle. | ||||||
| 43. | |||||||
| F. | Reversed direction. Picked it up again for last lap but didn't try to sprint - 50K PR. |
