I'm sure I'm crazy. I don't even know what I'm thinking. But.
Now. I was initially thinking about just tackling the 50K... but then L got me thinking. (I'm sure she was at LEAST half kidding, but the wheels are turning anyway). The 50 Mile would ONLY be 19 miles longer than a 50K. Check out the website.
It's 4 loops like the 50K I did last month, but the aid stations are closer together and we would be at roughly 2,000 feet lower altitude. The overall elevation gains/losses may be similar, but we all know that I can't read those stupid things. (L also suggested I re-read my recap of that 50K and she thinks I'll change my mind...)
I browsed the pictures from last year. This guy looks TOTALLY psyched to have finished 50 miles!
Another bonus is that it is SUPER CLOSE to where we live. Think about a 25-30 minute drive...
Thoughts? Am I acting more insane than usual?
Of course you are insane ;) ... but then you are the one that does all these crazy races (Um, hello? China? Remember that one?) and does awesome at them. So if anyone is going to sign up, it is you!
ReplyDeleteSo go for it so that I may live vicariously through you!
50 miles is hard core......but i guess so are u! hahahahha
ReplyDeletego for it!
the more important question is how long do you have to build up your mileage?!?!
ReplyDeleteI agree, that's hardcore and it sounds like it's right up your alley!
ReplyDeleteJust do it! It never hurts to try. It seems as if you enjoy a good challenge and this one is right up your alley!
ReplyDeleteI'd say, go for it. :) Seriously! :)
