Red Mtn 50k... We started with really warm temps. I had to finish this thing faster than planned so I didn't get stuck in the worst of the heat. I ran the trail portion slower than planned. It took me over 2 hrs to run the first 13 miles. At the transition from dirt to pavement I changed into my running shoes and picked up the pace. I was still thinking about how hard this race was after mile 26 so I worked on controlling my pace. I think I did okay. My longer mile times were due to hills and hanging out at the aid stations too long eating and talking.
