| 3.22 at a fairly good pace 8:25.My mileage has not been that great since the 1/31/09 when I ran my first 50k. Now I have another one this weekend. I hope that my previous mileage base will be enough to carry me through. Does anyone know how long before you start losing fitness (That is to run a longer distance?) I think that I will be ok but I may not be able to function for a few days. |

Watching a guy puke the first mile, 3 different flavors of gatorade , the taste of winter green tums , wanting to quit , the highs and lows a mind goes through during 31 miles , water bottle running out twice , freezing at the start , dehydrated at the end from the heat (empty water bottle remember?) , crossing very cold streams ( water feels good on burning feet) . A pretty fun day!! Race report to come later.
The Report
Last year I ran the 25k version of this race and decieded at that point that I would run the 50k the next year.I ran a 50k on /31/2009 and since then have had the post race blahhh's.After my first 50k I have had a hard time getting motivated.My weekly mileage has not been close to where it needs to be.So standing there at the starting line I felt nervous and very under trained.All I could hope for was to be conservative at the start and try to save something for the end.
The morning started off pretty cool, I'd say the upper 20's.I was trying to figure out what to wear because I knew that the forcast was for the upper 50's.I decieded on a sleeveless tech shirt and shorts. I also slipped on some sleeves that I could discard later in the morning as it started to warm up.The race starts out on a gravel road uphill for the first mile and a half.(This is a steep hill) I started in the back and thought that I would take it nice and easy until the road leveled out.(10:15/pace) At about 3/4 of a mile I was passing people and heard a heaving sound, I turned and looked to my right and a guy was losing his breakfast.I thought....This soon into the race???At 2 1/2 miles we turned onto the trails. The trails were in pretty good shape but there were some spots that were still holding water and was tracked up by horses.(horse poo to) I tried to maintane a pace around 9:30 - 10:00 and was feeling great. I had to stop for a pit stop right before the first aid station.(behind a big tree) A very nice aid station worker filled my bottle with orange gatoraid and I grabbed a couple of chocolate gu's and a hand full of potato chips and was gone.That stop was probably 1:30.I was now about 6 miles in and still feeling good. I finished the chips and then ate a gu.This is my first time to eat gu's since I blamed them for making me sick in a 12hr race last year.
At mile 8 the 25k and 50k split off and the 50 crosses a creek. The water was about 6 inches deep and there were people trying to cross logs and jump from rock to rock. I ran right through the middle and discovered that the cold water felt good on my feet that were starting to burn.(hot spots) I was hoping that my drymax socks would keep my blister free.We crossed a green field at mile 9 and I hit a low and felt that I would not be able to finish. I was feeling terriable and I was at mile 9 of a 31 mile race??From there to the next aid station felt like 20 miles and to make things worse my bottle was empty and I was getting very thirsty.About 1/4 mile from the aid station I saw my friend John Elomore walking down the trail with his daughter and dog.That lifted my spirits alittle. He took a picture, I dropped off my sleeves with him and headed for the aid.Once again the station workers grabbed my bottle and filled it with purple gatoraid while I drank a glass of water. I grabbed another gu on my way out and was gone. (total stop time 2 minutes)
I seemed to be feeling a little better after that stop and was running preety fast on the down hills.But my right foot was still burning like fire, I was wishing for a creek crossing.Ever so often I would catch somebody (or they would catch me) and we would run together for a short while and exchange stories.Two guys in paticular would always pass me and go out of site but I would always catch them at a aid station.One of them was wearing five fingers, I had never saw that in trail running before.These two guys would later motivate me to dig deep and push hard at the end.
I ran into aid #3 at 17.18 miles and was once again greeted by friendly workers. This time I ate 1/2 a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.They filled my bottle with green gatoraid and I ask if there was a creek crossing on the trail ahead. The worker said that there was and I ask how far? He said 1 mile ALRIGHT! (total time 2:50)
I ran for 2 1/2 miles and no creek? :( Oh yea, The two guys passed by me again after the aid and was soon out of site.I was starting to feel that old fimilar stamch pain so I took three tums from my water bottle pouch and ate them.Man wintergreen taste great with gatoraid and gu.(NOT) I had to stop briefly to let some horses by on the trail (didnt want to spook them).Finally I saw the creek and it was a good one.8 inchesdeep and ice cold water. I just stood in it for 30 seconds and put the fire out.(soothing)I took of again and encountered more horses, the weather was very warm and people were starting to show up on the trail.
I came into aid station #4 mile 22.36 with a empty bottle,dry mouth,chapped lips and feeting hurting.The two guys were there (remember 5 fingers) and taking their time. I filled my bottle and left quickly. I overheard one of the guys say....Come on he's leaving.The other guy answered, we will catch him dont worry. This gave me a extra pep in my step. Suddenly I was running fast and feeling no pain. It is amazing the highs and lows you feel in a long race.I passed five runners on this stretch of the race.(miles 22 - 27.5)
I came into the last aid station filled my bottle and hit the road toward the finish. When I came around the corner and could see the clock my wife and two daughters were there cheering me on. This really made me feel great!! There was also a little kid and a man ringing a cow bell everytime someone crossed the finish line.I grabbed a hamberger and chips and then headed for home.Looking back at mile 8 I never thought that I would make it.It is very hard to explain how you have pains all over your body one moment and then you are running with no pain feeling like you could run forever.By the way..... Those two guys NEVER did catch up and while I was eating, (about 15 minutes later) I saw them looking and smiling at me.Second winds really do exsist. |

I didnt reach my goal of 50 miles but after rain , sleet , blood and the chills I was pleased with the outcome.
I am not going to make this a long race report but there are some things that happened on this day that I was not prepared for and that had NEVER hapened before. The Delano race is known for bad weather and this year would be no exception.This is my fourth year to run this race but the first year to do it by myself. The previous three years I had been on a relay team.
The morning started off with light rain that would be on and off the entire day.At one time it even started to sleet.I knew that if I was going to be able to last the whole 12 hours that I would have to mix in some walking.I have heard Robert Youngren say that if you wait until you have to walk that you were in trouble, so I tried to mix some walk breaks in from the start.I had brought several short sleeve tech shirts and I wore a long sleeve cotton shirt from home to wear until the race started to stay warm.I also brought my rain jacket.(BIG MISTAKE) I was chilly at the start so I thought that I would leave the long sleeve shirt on for a mile or so until I got warmed up.After the first mile (I think) it started to rain and I put on my rain jacket.I ran with it on for about 22 miles. It also helped knock the chill of the wind off.This race is one mile loops around a walking track on a crushed gravel surface.There is aid and bathrooms every lap. At mile 20 I had stopped for my third bathroom break and when I started to urinate it was almost solid blood.It really freaked me out.That had never happened before and I was scared! After that lap I stopped at the aid station and asked one of the race directors Eric Schotz if he had ever heard of this before.One of the guys with him said that it sounded like kidney failure to him...Please dont tell me that! Eric thought that one of the racers was a nurse so he asked them. One of the guys said that it happened to him all the time and that I was border line dehydrated.Eric said to take a couple s-caps and to start drinking a lot of water.I pulled off my rain jacket and water (sweat) ran out of it.After some more whinning I was off again.
Although the surface of the track was soft and comfortable to run on, my shoes kept getting those little pebbles in them that would hurt my feet and ever so often I would have to stop and clean them out.I shuffled on for several more miles and at 9:45 into the race I was out of energy. The urine had cleared up but I wondered if being dehydrated had anything to do with my lack of energy?? The only real pain that I had was my ankles and that was also a first.I told the race directors that I was done and went to the truck and took a chill, shaking all over.I went all the way home with my heater running on high. When I got home I took off my clothes and started shaking so bad that I thought that I was going to shatter my teeth. I ran the tub with hot water and jumped in and went to sleep for 1:30.Sunday I felt pretty good except for both my ankles are swelled so much that I cant even see the ankle bones.(another first)
I am pretty satisfied with my effort but I am dissappointed with my lack of toughness in this race. Quiting enters my mind on these long races but never in a serious sense.(anyone know what I mean)??? I still ran further than I ever have and learned a ton of lessons that I know will help me down the road.
Great job to Eric schotz and Jon Elmore for a great event and thanks for your help.

I finally got back out today. My left ankle was still sore (actually hurting) during the run.Both my ankles swelled after Delano but they looked fine two days later.I will be trying to get some speed back for the summer races (5k & 10k) in the next month or so.I tried to run fast a few times today and felt pretty good. |
