Running a 50K in the Sierra Mountains

Racing Kirkwood's Ultras in the Sierra Mountains! Staring at 3 weeks left till the UTMB race day in Chamonix. And for one of my last long training runs I drove up to Kirkwood Ski Mountain for a day on the race course at the Kirkwood's Ultras 50K. It's a great race series with races ranging from 9 miles up to 100K. Unfortunately, do to snows at the high elevations this year, the 46 miler and the 100K were both cancelled. So I opted for the 50K instead. 31 Miles, 6100 Feet, 12 Hour cutoff... One glorious day in the mountains. I ran a strong race and felt good through the afternoon heat. I finished in 6:55 and came in 6th overall. Thanks to Troy and the rest of the crew for some great race fun! Head over to my page and support my UTMB fundraiser in partnership with Homes 4 Homes...
