Back from a brief hiatus with a little 50k trail race. My new distance I am working to conquer. So far, itβs whopping my butt.
Great Springs Trail Race. 5 loops to complete the 50k. Course was rocks, dirt, steep inclines and descents. The first two hours were humid and sunny. The last 4 were cloudy with a final hour of rain. Which turned the dirt into some kind of cement they stuck to my shoes and added some extra weight which was not enjoyable.
This was my first long distance race wearing a hydration vest. Holy crap game changer. Past races I would totally implode due to dehydration. This time hydrated and imploded due to other issues.
Next 50k attempt is end of March.
Goal - top 3 and less walking.
