Notes
First ever Ultra...
*the course consisted of a 3.6 mile loop followed by a 13.7 mile loop done twice
*there is allegedly 8-9k ft of elevation gain on the course
*started out conservative on the short loop and the first of the large loop
*since I only carried two gels with me, I had to stop at every aid station for water/Gatorade
*the second large loop had lots of slick mudslides which made running the uphills tough and the downhills even worse
*started the second loop in 7th place and passed a few guys on the second loop
*there was a 2 mile road stretch on the large loop in which I ran 6:15-6:25 pace
4th place overall
1st in AG
Got a sweet Under Armour sweatshirt and red running hat for the premium and a crappy small tote bag for the AG win
Had a good time on a beautiful morning but anything further than 50K is NUTS!!!
