Mid-Maryland 50k Grand Master Champion

Number pick-up was smooth and Philip was helpful and enthusiastic.

Directions were spot on and the weather was clear and cold.

After the 1st lap it seemed like a mini VT50, technical and varied terrain. 

A lot of people only went 3 or 4 laps,  laps needed for a 50k. I loved the chocolate chip muffins and Powerbar chocolate gel. I had pizza after the 3rd lap. I felt great except lap 4. 

I tripped 2xs, after the 2nd I felt like my back and shoulders were out of place. 

The last lap I passed several runners and I wanted to run sub 6 hours.  Next to last hill I was at 5:55 and I finished 5:59:18 in in AG, RRCA Mid-Maryland 2016 Grand Master Champion.

Food after was great! Hot soup and hot pizza! Timing spot on Bling, half zip, metal and magnet for $55.
