Jemez 50

Notes

Ran Jemez 50 as my last long for WS100. Was thrilled to run into Rick and Doris at the start. Rick and I ran together off and on for the first 35 miles. The course was rerouted this year because of fire danger. Lost some elevation gain/loss on course and added rocks. Still had some good climbs and technical descents. Went out very conservatively and didn't push it until after 25. Taped my feet and wore new shoes. Knee and PF were not much of an issue, but lack of cushion and shoe being too short caused some foot pain which is the only trouble I had. Temps felt warm because of exposed course but never got higher than 75 with some wind in the afternoon. Stomach stayed solid for the whole race. Still blew up with whatever electrolyte imbalance I seem to have when I race, but other than gaining 3-4 pounds during race, didn't seem to impact too much. Overall satisfied with effort on a tough course.
