You certainly didn't pick an easy one for your first 50k

It was suprisingly easier than I though it would be. Perhaps because I train on moderate hills here in Auburn. Or perhaps because I expected mre REALLY steep sections, like coming out of the Red House Loop. Or, maybe because I really wanted to enjoy myself, so I maintained a non-agonizing pace. Whatever, I'm really psyphed, and can't weait to do another one!

BTW there are a lot of relatively inexpensive, light, small digital cameras that take great, high quality photos.

Yeah - I was going to get one before the race, but with a family wedding, an ill Father, and an ill Dog, I just couldn't research it enough. I'm planning to get one before my next one, for sure!
