My husband is doing the Zane Grey 50m today. I'm not even close to that insane, but I did have to get a 20 miler in today. I do not know this area at all and Nate took my garmin, so I decided to do this on the local HS track that was close to the hotel. I took Nate to the start of his race and made it to the track by 6 am. I stopped for water and/or gel every 4 miles and switched directions. After 8 miles, it was becoming a real exercise in metal toughness. Physically, I didn't feel too bad, but I was so bored. It was also getting hot and would reach 84 before I finished. After 16.25 miles, I had enough of the track. I ventured out on the roads for the amount of time I figured would get me to 20. It's possible that I was slightly short, but close enough. Now off to hang out at the Zane Grey finish. I think it is going to be a brutal day for the runners. It is so hot and sunny already. |
