Notes
Lt. JC Stone 50K. North Park (near Pittsburgh) Overslept. Started nearly 27 minutes late. Issues of pacing, nice shower/breakfast/bathroom went out window. Ran too fast at the beginning for sure. But didn't slow TOO much.
Other ways of looking at the numbers: Total time as recorded by them (minus my 26:18 lateness, calculated by them.)
50K: 4:01:30 = 7:46 pace.
That's with stopping to pee once & stopping for water, Gatorade, snacks at 11, 16, 21, 26 miles.
I stopped the Garmin for those stops and it put me at 31 miles flat. Which is "right;" it or the course? Close enough.
So, my 3:56:18 on 50K = 7:36.3 pace.
16th overall (would have been 6th) of 40 finishers. About 50 registered.

My longest run ever. Medal about an inch in diameter less than a CD. Shortsleeve tech shirt. Fun race.
