Ran the RM 50k this morning as a training run for the UV Marathon in June. Went out pretty easy on the first 12 until I realized we had taken a wrong turn right after mile 9 aid station. Apparently one of the "ranchers" on the course didn't want the race going down his road and moved all the markers and acutally put down arrows to go the wrong way. Luckly we only went 1 mile extra - however, 3 miles of the detour was up hill. After the race there were a ton of people that ended up running up to 36 miles, so we got off easy.
Other than that the race was great. Once I got on the road I was able to drop the group of guys I was running with. I just kept it in the Mid 6's down to Schivwits (sp) where I met up with Kendra with a slap on the butt. After chatting with Her for a while and finding out I had no chance of getting the 1st place guy I just cruised it on in.
Good day overall - still pretty sore from the miles and a little sick. |
