Trail Running race 5:48:00 [4] 50.0 km (6:58 / km)
Goal today was to test knee for Laveredo and get some much needed distance on the legs
First 10 km went out a bit too fast
Second lap felt okay but knew my last lap would be loooongg.....
Heat was very intense by third lap
As I past my 2009 time which was quite a bit faster reality set in that this was going to be a much longer day and I was trying to convince myself that this course was much hillier than in 2009(:
Experienced some inner thigh cramping coming into finish which has never happened but soooo glad to be done!
Saw Barb coming in looking strong!
Saw some pacers from Virginia vs Bruce Steve Forrest on the 50km and Steve Hunter attempting his first 100 miler!
When I saw results it was clear that third lap just killed me but happy to walk away with second in my age group considering my recent injury
Missed my partner Dee today who had to bail after an all nighter with the twins
Knee felt great only a little tight on way home
Lack of training was my main problem
Laveredo here I come!
