I finished the race in a time of 4 hours 58 minutes. I wanted to finish under 5 hours, so I am happy with the result. The course was really fast, but despite being relatively flat, the terrain was tough. Imagine 50km on medium sized gravel. It was like a combination of small Gobi style rubble and sand because your feet just slid out from under you if i over-strided, which was very brutal on the ankles. On the plus side, I was very happy with the brooks pure grits, which I tried for the first time at a long distance. They held up really well.
The last ~8km of the race were mentally tough. I think I needed one more Saltstick tab because I was starting to cramp a little bit.
Back to training on Monday for the next challenge!!
