Funny that my 50 mile time is faster than my 50K.  Guess that's what happens when your only 50K has over 11,000' of vertical ascent =)

Personal:

I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life.  Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

Taking it really easy this week.  With that said, I ran the JRP with my friend Scott.  Took it really easy on the run.  With one caveat... I was dressed in winter gear.  Haha.  Since finding out that Squaw Peak has been re-routed, figured I needed some heat training since it'll be 80 or so on race day and I don't believe we've seen 80 yet this year.  Should be good times on Saturday!  Oh yeah, I was drenched by the end of the run.  Looking forward to doing it again Wednesday.

Another run in the snowsuit at the JRP.  Much warmer today than yesterday.  Tried to keep right around an 8 minute pace to keep my core nice and toasty.  Felt much better today for some odd reason.  Probably all the calories I've been consuming!

This is the last day I run before the big one on Saturday.  Looking forward to torturing myself through 50 miles with 12K ft of vertical :)

Gonna keep it short and sweet here.  The full race report can be found on my personal blog here: http://ohtheaftermath.blogspot.com/2011/06/2011-squaw-peak-50.html

Had a pretty good race considering my training over the last month has been pretty weak. Consensus was that the course was a bit more difficult this year, and I think the times reflected that.  I was reeling people in one by one for the first 45 miles.  Most of this was due to the fact that I went off course very early on and had to play catch up all day.  Then the last 5 miles my race completely fell apart when I got disoriented and dehydrated.  Glad it happened near the end so I didn't have to fight it all day though!

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with my result and I had a great time out there!  Great to see some FRB'ers as well.  Congrats to all who finished.
