Running race (Naked Prussian 50mi) 9:34:58 [3] 51.4 mi (11:11 / mi) +4261ft 10:22 / mi
shoes: New Balance MT101 v1 (10 2E)
Naked Prussian 50 miler (51.4 actual). A very nice day, if a bit muddy, but apparently my tapering is really paying off. 5th overall, 1st M30+ (although I only got the M40+ award :)).
My watch died with 0.7 miles to go. Guess I should have been about 9 minutes faster.
Enough excellent aid stations (about every 3.5 miles) that I ran with only a few gels in a tiny belt pouch and 2x aid station 8oz plastic cups, that's it. People thought I was crazy. Shows what they know. Although I did get some heartburn / burping / near upchucky after chugging 1/3 of a beer (a very good beer), and noshing on a kielbasa slice with 10.75 miles to go, right before the toughest hills on the course. It was worth it. And the french fries were so. damn. good.
Delicious sausage with really good sauerkraut on a good roll at the end.
my age group award: a weather cuckoo 'clock', with barometric rotation (who pops out) & temp
