    It is actually surprisingly flat.


    Well, except for Lookout Mountain. And the other Mountain. And the hills too. Oh, and the rollers.

     

    But yeah, otherwise, pretty flat.

      1:39:16

       

      But, I think course was short...

       

      Update...actually ran a 1:38:47.

      Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

        Throw me in for a little 2 miler this Friday night. Dec 7th. I haven't done this one in two years. Last time was pretty ugly...I dodged into a store front about 150 yards from the finish to relieve GI pressure.

         

        Goal 13:30 and not shit my pants.

         

        (I should be faster but I'm planning on running this highly fatigued due to this stoopid 300 challange)

                No one from Indiana doing HUFF 50K/50M?  I just need an excuse to run and I have a few extra home brews that need drinking.  Big grin  Spaniel, how about a challenge?  Maybe me finishing 1.5 hours behind you on the 50 mile?

                  I'd be up for it, except that I will be up in MI visiting family...

                    +1  Awesome run kencamet!  Makes me wonder what you could have done in "good" conditions.

                        Holly shit ken. I just saw that. Great run in those conditions.

                         

                        Love to see what you could do in Chicago (flat course) and good weather.

                         

                        Excellent.

                           I would have gone faster than 2:54 but woulda, coulda, shoulda blah blah blah.

                           

                          Hold the phone - Just checked results and I got 2nd in the 50-54 AG!  Woohoo.  That and 7 bucks will buy me a starbucks Costa Rica Vente Grande or some such brew.

                           

                          Holy crap, I missed this.  Outstanding!!!

                              I had a really good day despite epicly bad conditions.  The only thing worse conditions I've run in was 2007 Chicago - I'll take wind and rain over 90+ temps any day.  I started out running 7 min miles fully expecting to jog it in but I kept passing or seeing my racing buddies and I couldn't just give it to them, could I?  F that.  They want to beat me they gotta earn it.  So I gradually shifted more and more into race mode and by the last 5 miles the wind and rain became pretty much of just a light rain.  Up till then a driving rain and tough winds.  The start was fricking horrendous with VERY heavy rain and probably at least 30-40mph gusts.   I was very strong for the last 5 miles and passed a whole lot of folks, I think on a good condition day I would have gone faster than 2:54 but woulda, coulda, shoulda blah blah blah.

                              Hello!  Very good performance in biblical weather, Ken.

                                Unless they just changed it, HUFF is only a 50k. I'm not sure if the new course is actually 50k either...the old course was 33 miles.
