Kettle Moraine 50k.
Plan was to run slower than ever on first half and hopefully feel Ok by the end.

We started at the 100k out-and-back turn around, and I saw Bash about 20 min before the start.

She was looking good, and said the course was nice, but warned me about the exposed hot meadows from 13-25k.

I headed off at a conservative pace. Other than one guy who took off, I was leading the 50+ wave and steadily moved through the 100 k runners, walking uphills and watching my HRM like a hawk. At the meadows I filled my hat and bottle with ice, walked the uphills, and the heat didn't bother me.

I was caught by the first guy from the second wave (started 30 min back) at the mid-point aid station, at 2:30. My HRM quit there.

By the 30k mark I had the first ominous gut gurgle. By 35k my stomach was in shutdown mode, and from then on it was a suffer-jog with walking breaks. I had a little ginger ale, but had to walk it off- I really felt it sloshing on the downhills.

My heel was steadily sore, but my left knee and right glute weren't happy either.

I made it across the line in my slowest 50 by far, surprised to hear that I was first 50+ as the fast guy at the start was a relay runner. I had a little more ginger ale, but puked it back up 5x and could barely force water and a little fruit down for a couple more hours.

I was 8th overall, and shockingly had taken almost 80 min off the previous very soft record. Winner was 4:30.

Great to see Bash finish, pretty much on schedule, and Timato rocked a great 100 miles in the low 22s!
5 PM

Note

HRM stopped working at 2:30, and Garmin basically stuck at 164 for the rest of the race. HR was much lower than that in the second half, where pace dropped from 6:00/km to 8:00+.

Foot, knee and heelhab, + workout 3.

Running 52:00 [3]

Run in with the big boy. Tried the PI-free bushwhack from the North side but didn't connect right with the southern exit- I came out a bit too far west.

Found a better path on the return trip.

Running 55:00 [2]
shoes: Altra Olympus

Run in with a trotting BZDog. We bushwhacked back home to find a poison-ivy bypass. Near home a deer bolted out on to the trail 10m from us, and the big guy was a handful after that despite some stern words.
