| Marathon Training & Racing from Joe Bowman All 50 States & DC under 3:00 |
WOW, what an amazing trail run! And tough, tough,
tough...check out the elevation chart. That's over 7,000 ft of
climb in a 50K. Dink Taylor who was second place overall in
2006 (4:58) and is the current race director of the most
prestigious 50K trail race in Alabama (Mountain Mist) says
that's a ton. My calves believe it...they quit working at 22
miles. Did I mention the elevation chart...look what I still had
left...in soaked shoes! Speaking of getting wet, the creeks
were bursting due to the rain on race day and the rain a
couple of days before, but that looks like a smile on my face
doesn't it. It was...it was a blast! And the whole course was
absolutely gorgeous! You gotta do this race.
