It was such a pleasure to run with friends Stacey and Jenn For several miles during the race. They are both much younger and even though I have more experience I would have been disappointed if they did not finish ahead of me. They did!
I had a few problems which probably lead to a slower time than last year even though it was a better day to run. Bit my tongue at beginning, pinned my number to shirt even though I was planning to switch shirts, looking for chaga mushrooms, ran off course 2 times. But my finishing place was better.
The 2 things I need to focus on for next year are a different pack and another longer run before the race; I didn't run a long run after the 100k and it cost me.
I hope to run this into my 70's so I have time to get it right.
It was a great day and I had fun which is what it is all about.
Hats off to Colton Gale 2nd overall! An awesome runner and another friend.
Cheers to all my friends who ran the 50k too numerous to list. WHAT A DAY!
