There comes a point when one begins to question the value of writing a race report because so much time has passed since the event. I’m trying to avoid that here (barely) with this brief sharing of thoughts as related to the event last Saturday.

This event finishes out my winter ultrarunning phase. My report continues below… Alert! Alert! If anyone cares… Although this race has a well-deserved reputation as a tough course, I have to admit it seemed almost easy. Even with the approximately 2000 feet of elevation gain and several miles of technical singletrack. I suppose there’s nothing like a brutal 40 miler one month prior to really re-set your norms. Yes, I know what some of you hardened ultrarunner nutso’s are thinking – and no, I don’t agree that if 40 miles is good that 50-100 is better. You just go on with your bad selves while I stick with distances under 40 miles. Back to the marathon… Call me crazy all you want or turn your nose up in derision, but this event was never intended to be the “gateway drug” to longer, more ridiculous events. It was a check-the-box one-and-done kind of thing. So now that I’ve done it, guess what? My opinion on those matters remain the same. I’ve done it once. Check. So you’re wondering how did it all go? Lucky you, this is a race report, so you shall find out. Here I go announcing my sponsors for the coming season. It’s about time! You might also notice the changes to the blog’s appearance, including logos and links to the left. Like it? Anyway, I wholeheartedly encourage you to support these sponsors by buying shoes and other run related items at Bull City Running and using Recovery e21 products.
