2nd 50 miler in the books! 7:41:42; 3rd overall!!!

Started out at my own pace for the first 3.5 mile loop. Then when I came through the start line to begin the first of 3-15.5 mile loops, I saw #5 (James) ahead of me. I caught up to him and #4 (Tony) shortly after AS 1. Hung with them for the first loop and admittedly went WAY too fast. We finished the first 19 miles in about 2:39. James fell off shortly before then end of loop 1, and Tony and I stayed together through most of loop 2 but I eventually pulled ahead. #2 had stomach issues and fell back to about 15th place so I was in 2nd! Somewhere in loop 3 some dude FLEW past me like he hadn't been running so I was in 3rd. Nothing left to do but hold on.

Race was great. Mostly flat, few short climbs but nothing memorable. Way too much pavement. Cool prizes and great bratwurst at the end! I would definitely recommend this race. It is young so there is room for improvement but a really fun atmosphere.
