Queen's First 50 Miler: Siskiyou Out & Back (Read 38 times)

Queen of Nothing

    That's funny that you know them.  I've only run with them a few times but had a great time with them this weekend.  Awesome twosome.  I know they came from the bay area but not sure how long they have been in our town.   small world.  I was extremely happy making the SOB my first.  I would actually go back there and do it again.

    Hey, I know Lane and Bruce!  They volunteer every year at ALT at WS!  Small trail-running-world moment...

     

    Well done on your first 50!  Great photos too (although when you mentioned a little crown in the 2nd pic, I was looking for something to put on your head....)

     

    I'm pondering doing my first 50 miler next year.  You happy with doing SOB for your first?  I was looking at Mt. Hood 50 recently.  Want to stay  in the west but run somewhere other than Auburn or the Bay Area.

      Congratulations, Queen!  What a great race and first 50.   And I was choked up for you, just reading your RR (but I cry at parades, so there you go ).

        Thanks for noticing. 

         

        Very cool! Very happy for you.  You guys definitely have some great looking trails out west. I enjoyed reading your report.

         

        BTW - nice legs!

          Yes I was/am going to quit these long run things.   my husband is encouraging me to do a 100.  For now I am just going to run for fun.

           

          Way to go Queenie. The photo at mile 41.. making it look easy. Great scenery and glad you had a good day and weather for that first 50. Disappointing about the warm beer though. LOL. Weren't you the one a month or so wondering about the sensibilities of doing this long stuff. Look at you now. It is a time suck but seems like you know what are doing out there. Enjoy it while you can I say!

            If I can do it you can do it!!!

             

            Frickin' Sweet!  Congrats on a wonderfully run race- I knew you'd get it.  You're motivating me to look at a 50 mile 

             

            I'd be crying too over a warm beer!

                  I actually was going to sign up for that race until I got injured .... maybe next year!
