Notes

Pinal Peak 50k. Went better than I could have expected. First 19 miles or so were mostly climbing, with a few flat/downhill sections, then most of the last 11-12 were downhill. Stayed nice and steady and didn't push past comfortable for the first 20 miles, then started to pick it up on the downhill to the finish. Cramped up at 25 miles and took some walk breaks/extra food. Last section was pretty hot and slow and I ran out of water before the finish.

Thankfully Erin & my parents were there to get me gatorade because the aid stations only had low sugar electrolyte drink. Balanced the water/carbs pretty well, a bit more of both probably would have helped for the end. More electrolytes as well, I could feel salt crystals on my face during the race and was totally caked at the end.

Left foot has been bothering me a little since Monday, not sure what it is. Hope it's not a stress fracture but it's certainly a possibility. Didn't bother me much during the race or easy miles last week, so may just be tendons or some other soft tissue.
