Wanted to run a 50k for this race, and did! 9:30ish avg pace, and I pretty much ran that from the get go. Nice event to start the year, fairly well organized. It definitely got a bit boring after a while, but the goal of 50k kept me focused. Rounding into decent shape heading into the new year.

Nice work! Running in circles that long can go strange things to your legs. You did well to keep going the entire 5 hours

Thanks Bec, it was definitely a different race experience, but in a good way.
