El Vaquero Loco 50K -
4th time running this amazingly beautiful course. It was especially pretty today due to heavy rains overnight and threatening weather. The weather held out for me to finish, eat a burger and drink a huckleberry soda. I feel sorry for those that came in later. Rough stuff! The race itself went fine for the first half (even though I was in 7th at turn around at 2:37). The second half held some carnage including myself. I must have gone out too hard again. I struggled but survived. 'Loss of will' hit me hard when things got really hard climbing back up to the lakes and over the final 4 miles. Had fun though. Ashley Erba and one other guy (I forgot his name already) entertained me the first half before we parted ways. Ashley went on to crush the 2nd half finishing 2nd overall in 5:22. Impressive!
