Beyond my wildest expectations. Okay, maybe not quite that great, but beyond all reasonable and most of my completely unreasonable expectations. Since I ran this race last year, I have run over 20 miles exactly 4 times.......3 50K races and one 50 mile race where I dropped at 27-ish. Not exactly a textbook training cycle. Coupled with continued left hip problems that just won't completely resolve and a GI cramping problem that forced me to drop from the 50 miler at the midpoint a mere month prior to race-day, I had no reason to think that this would be the experience it became throughout the day, night, and morning.
