Imminent Catastrophe

    Has anyone done it? Well, of course someone has. I mean, have any of you done it? I'm thinking of doing it next year as my first 50-miler.

      I did the 50k as my first 50k, after only 4 marathons (3 in the previous 10 months, though).  i think i have a report and pics somewhere around....here.... it is an absolutely awesome trail - gorgeous!  The race organizers put on a training run about a month before the race, and my husband and I have done that the past 2 years, also (but a shorter version ~18 miles one year and 21 the next).  The actual Garmin distance for the 50k came out at over 34 miles, so just keep in mind that the course may be "long" for the 50 miles, also.

       

      MTA: I really can't recommend this run enough.  Extremely well organized run, in one of the most beautiful areas in the US.  After 9 marathons and 50ks, this was by far my favorite, and the most difficult!
