Hey ladies!

I survived my 50K...and it didn't suck! I never hated my life, I never wanted to cry, I never wanted to quit. The entire race was great! There were moment of "eesh, this kind of hurts" but it could have been so much worse!

The full recap/post is in the works but I will say that I finished at 5:47:xx, ran the first 26.2 miles faster than my first actual marathon and my LAST two miles were the fastest...by :30-1:30/mile. I kept it super conservative because I wasn't sure how my legs would do after the 9 mile mountain hike I did yesterday.

I went into the race thinking a 6hr/11:35pace was a lofty goal...I only dropped below the 11:35 pace in the first 10 miles to be sure I wasn't going too fast!

Holy crap, right now I love life and running and...ice packs! There was a lot more pavement than originally planned (flooding...) and my knees definitely felt it, but still completely worth it!

It took me all day (literally, I'm too ashamed to admit how much time I spent in LiveWriter today!) but the recap is up -- runaroundaroo.com/2013/09/30/bear-chase-50k-my-first-ultra/
