The Background
I got busy, so a month passed between my last race, Release the Kraken 50k. I did get in several short runs and a 14 miler, so I thought my fitness might be better than the last off-the-couch race.
The Race
I went back to WG Jones so I could socially distance on the wide trails. Weather was cool.
I ran the first 12, then hit a wall. I started to feel a bit bad physically and mentally.
I had dinner plans with Terri, so I needed to be home by 5:30pm. That meant finishing in 8 hours, so it was good motivation for me to push it. I hiked then threw in short runs of like a mile or so.
At about 25 miles, I lost my car key! My running shorts got torn up, so I was running in regular shorts. My key feel out of my pocket when I got out my MP3 player, so I had to retrace my steps a mile and a half. Luckily, I found it so I wouldn't be walking home.
I managed to finish in 7:57.
Reflections
A bit fitter for this race. My goal for this short winter season is the Snowdrop 55 hour race, so I'll get as fit as I can.
