Running Week 5/18-5/24

The Short Version of yellow's 50K Race Report

• I finished.
• It was kind of warm. But thankfully a little cloudy which kept it mostly tolerable.
• The course had a lot of uphill. A lot. Well, a lot more than the last 50K I did (about 5500' total climb for this one versus about 3500' for the last one). My calves protested big time at about mile 24, which made me crabby.
• BUT! my time was only about 3 minutes slower than the last one...5:55:53 according to Garmin (I didn't amble over to the results table to check anything).
• I saw three snakes...none of them venomous (thankfully).
• The wildflowers were spectacular.
• I don't have any pictures...will need to get them from my Crossfit friends who were the official race photographers.
• My legs feel like Jell-O.

Off to go eat some more...

Update: I put a race report on my blog. It's not the complete story, but close enough.
