Ram Party 50k

Baby's first ultra. Lizzie convinced me to hop into this on the last day of registration - 5 days ago. So glad I did it! Much better planning and execution than the marathon 3 weeks ago. I even beat my marathon time (and PRd the 15k, 10 mile, 20k, half and ALMOST 10k) with an extra 5 miles and 4k feet of vert instead of 1k. Nutrition, hydration, electrolytes, and pacing were all on point. The road shoes were an unusual choice but they served very well. Really good views at the top! Only snafu to speak of was getting a little turned around in the last mile or two. I think we actually all went out on the wrong trail and I wasn't sure to retrace or stick to what I thought the route was. Thanks to Lizzie for pushing me! 8/60 overall and official time 4:31:18. Oh and highest mileage week ever at ~54 miles!
