Pain is my friend
Over the weekend I ran the 100 mile National Championship in Henderson NV.
I started at an easy pace but a bit faster than planned 8:35. Then backed it off to 8:45. It started to get hot at about 11. But I was ready for it. Heat training seemed much hotter than the race. I used ice and water to cool myself off. At about mile 75 I figured that would need to take off about 10 sec a mile or run 8:50 pace to make my goal. With 13 miles to go, I asked my wife what a 2 half marathon pace was because that’s what I needed to run. 9:09 pace. Right then I knew I will get my goal. I can do it. The only thing that would stop me was my right hammy. If I pushed too hard or strided out too much it would cramp. I cracked out my last mile in 7:30. The course was fairly flat. 35 ft per loop. But that adds up. 4,300 ft of vert. Wow that is a lot for what they call a flat course. Finished in 14:59, 5th male and 1st in the 40-44 age group. There were some crazy fast chicks. Camille broke the world record 12:41 for females. Amazing.
I had many PRs during the race. 50 m 7:20
100k 9:08
12 hours 79.7 miles
100 mile PR by an hour and a half.

Fortunately the live results for the USATF 100 Mile was kept up to date so we were able to track you. Looked like you moved up nicely in the standings as the race progressed.
