running 9:46:11 [3] 40.3 mi (14:33 / mi) +1950ft 13:54 / mi
firetrails, gently rolling, 5km loop (race management says +150 ft per 5km loop, which sounds about right). my splits weren't that great in the second half which makes sense because i haven't done that many long runs lately. weather was super windy but reasonably cool, overcast for several hours in the morning and then sunny.
lap #1: 38:25
lap #2: 38:06
lap #3: 38:26
lap #4: 40:13
lap #5: 39:26
lap #6: 40:52
felt really great for the first several laps. used the first lap to figure out where to walk based on terrain, it was total 5-6minutes of walking per loop across three different sections for these first several loops. that worked a lot better for me because it felt natural based on the terrain and i didn't have to be checking my watch very much, could just run -- much more mentally relaxing.
lap #7: 48:24
i was at the aid station snacking right at the start of this loop and a bee stung me on my ankle bone! spent 5-7 minutes sitting with a synthetic ice pack on it.
lap #8: 44:54
this was the lap where i decided i would go 13 laps and then call it a day.
lap #9: 59:01
not doing so great here. took another 5-7minutes at the beginning and then walked the whole loop.
lap #10: 43:31
the walk break did the trick and i felt very up again. missed my 50km PR by 2 minutes, but it was good that i did the walk loop.
lap #11: 48:12
finished this one at 7:59:34 and saw your email in my head ("make sure to go 8+ hours...")
lap #12: 57:30
another all walking loop
lap #13: 49:05
tried to finish strong but didn't have much left.
overall felt pretty good the whole time. ate a lot which really helped but then stopped eating as much the last 3-4 laps and definitely noticed the energy lag. decided to stop at 40 miles since this isn't a goal race, i do this for fun, and i wanted to stop on a positive note, while i was still having a good time. overall pretty pleased. no regrets today.
