My First Ultra

My first 50K is tomorrow in lovely Malibu Creek State Park. I have no idea what to expect.


2 x 25K loops. A net elevation gain of 5,940' for 31.05 miles. Yikes.

I'm going to be running with fellow bloggers like Stuart and Danica, along with a whole slew of Runner's World forumites. It's going to be great times sprinkled in with sheer torture and bad cramping I'm sure for 6-7+ hours under the sun. With the carbo-load dinner out of the way, it's now time to run.

So looking forward to it. Full race report to come tomorrow night. Don't forget to spring forward kids. I'm tired - good night.
