Running 18:23:00 [3] 64.0 mi (17:14 / mi) +13000ft 14:27 / mi
shoes: Pearl Izumi N2 Trail, #2
Never Summer 100k Trail Race. Start time: 5:33 am. Sunrise over these mtns: as magical as always.
Wasn't fully trained for this one... supposed to be in China right now, but lost my passport at the last minute. Signed up for the race at the last minute.
Started very strong, first climb up Agnes / Noku Crags was solid, as was second monster climb up Diamond Peak. Felt pretty good until ca. mile 30 / en route to Kelly Lake. The climb up Ruby Jewel Road was hot and brutal, and my nutrition took a dive... suffered from malnourishment for the rest of the race, and also had some bladder issues, but stayed positive.
Felt better with each aid station that I could stuff 100 calories in. Did so entirely with liquids (very dilute v-fuel), potato chips, and watermelon. Also at 1 pack of peanut butter crackers (somehow), 1 bar, and 2 fruit squeezies.
Drank ca. 9 L of water.
Met some amazing people on the course. They inspired me, and I inspired them. I made it a point to encourage every single person I passed, and they thanked me for my smile (I heard this at least 21 times). I did the same in return.
My knees were super strong up to Clear Lake from the Clear Lake Aid Station (4th of 5 total climbs, starting at mile 40). Felt strong on the downhill too. Some numbness, but not nearly as bad as the 2016 race.
I left the Clear Lake Aid station for the 2nd time (i.e., mile 44) around 6:15 pm... a bit later than last year, but all fine. Met MA around mile 46, and she paced me through the end. She had hiked in with Berlin, Peanut Butter, and Andrew.
We powered through the final 16 miles. Power hiked the last major climb (ca. 1000 ft more gain), and ran the flats and downhills. We ran the final two miles, the last mile at a fast pace, with enthusiasm, but also a lot of body soreness and knee pain. Crossed the finish just before midnight. Andrew was there waiting - gave him and my pacer huge hugs, and I might have hugged a dog or two, too.
We stayed at the finish line for at least an hour, sitting around the fire, congratulating others. I even managed cup of tomato soup and a sip of beer.
Next morning: I felt TERRIFIC. Really, really good, and was limping far less than most others. We punched it north to Saratoga hot springs, and sat in the cold river where the hot water meets the native cold....
Excellent race, once again - great people, great scenery, great volunteers, great aid stations, great company and pacer, and just downright fun.
