Congrats on your first Ultra. You going to eventually do a 100-miler? We've got a great one here in Arkansas.
Thanks, JP! And that's exactly the attitude! It was about seeing what I could do, what I could endure; finding out my limits. Not just the race, either. I spent a significant amount of time out on the trails leading up to this. That being said, since I did 50, a 100-miler is now a goal.


BTW, this was actually my third ultra. I did a 50K and a 33.5 mile race leading up to this one.
