No, that's not a typo, I ran 50 miles today, after running about 3 miles a day for the last couple of months. John Robbing called me Tuesday and offered me a bib for the race, but he didn't confirm that I'd have it until Thursday. Anyway, it worked out great because I would already be in the area for a wedding (Katya Van Patten's) Friday, and just stayed over with John and his wife, and ran the race. It was an incredible experience, I would totally do it again and recommend to whoever is interested. I went out really controlled, first half in about 5:10, so I had a nice negative splilt to the race. I had gotten good advice from some other runners and made sure to keep eating and drinking the entire race, and I never really felt like I bonked or anything like that. The potatoes were my favorite thing to eat at the aid stations, with a little extra salt. The toughest part of the race was towards the end with about 4 or 5 miles left there was a very steep downhill section, too steep to run as quickly as I would have liked, and just really hard on the legs. Most of the race went really smoothly, except for at about mile 24 I was running with a girl from AZ, and she tripped and cut her leg open reeeeaaaaallly deap. It was pretty sketchy, I think I saw bone, which was weird. I rinsed the cut off as best I could with water, and then got to the aid station and let them know she was coming. After the race I found out she went to the ER and got stitches. Anyway, the second half of the race was fun, I passed a bunch of people, no one passed me, and I was just loving it, reeling people in the whole time. It was fun to look up and see someone further ahead and just keep them in mind and push for them the whole time. So glad I could do this!
