Laurel Highlands Fall Classic 50k and 50k Relay recap:
Took 1st Overall in both races. Was able to do the relay if I did the first leg. Originally was only doing the relay but decided a couple days before to sign up for the 50k as well.
Finished the 50k in 4:58:14
Ran under my Only Eye Athletics name, our team time was 4:24:25.
Goals for the day were to win the relay 1st and foremost then win the 50k, and then finish under 5 hours, not get hurt. All achieved.
While I burned up some trying get team a good lead may have paid for it later but was absolutely worth it. I lead from the start and never relequinished my 50k lead. I also held the relay lead for team the whole time. Got passed at like like mile 19 in and aid station 62 by relay teams. Even before hitting mile 1 noone was in sight behind me. I was flying and was locked in. Did fall at least 6 times. Blew top of shoe out when I tripped. At relay exchange having to stop to refuel which was my plan beforehand killed momentum cause I had to change some things out i got unlocked in.
Right around mile marker 60 I got light headed, stomach was upset and I was about to pass out. I somehow made it to mile 62 aid station took some ginger ale and immediatly starting puking it up. Spent maybe 5 mins at most there. Took more ginger ale and a tums. I probaly could have been pulled or dropped when 1st came in but when they asked If I needed seat I said no I gotta keep moving. I recovered on trail. Though legs were beat because of stopping to long at aid station somehow managed to stay ahead. I was on a 4:30 pace most of the day and my heart rate was maxed out also most of the day. So body got beat up pretty good. But pulled it off while time was slower then should have been but I'll take it all things taken i to account.
Im still not where I was or can be. But im getting very close to it, and once I get there, im only gonna get better then I ever was. Finally got my head right, figured out what was wrong with my body, started enjoying running again, and training better.
