Event: Sulphur Springs Trail Run
 

Sulphur Springs '50k'
Well, that went better than last year - like, 20 minutes better. There was a few sections in the final loop where I dropped to the ugly ultra shuffle, but otherwise I felt good almost the whole way.
Though I made sure I ate and drank at every aid station, I don't think it was quite enough (especially given the crazy small shot glass sized cups they would only half fill). I was trading back and forth with a girl the entire race, she was carrrying her own pack and always got ahead at every aid station. Once we got to the top of farmers field on the final loop she pulled away as I started t feel the onset of cramps on those climbs.
Makes me feel good that 8 hours of running/month this year has been enough :) and confident going into the Spartan Ultra Beast in August (which will be a similar length)
