#45 Ultra Marathon now completed!

The Jem/Hurricane Rim Trail is a beautiful trail system in Hurricane, Utah!  I decided to do another adventure run by myself in Hurricane, Utah - only 30 minutes away from my home.  The whole trail system there runs almost entirely near the Virgin River with astounding views in all directions.
I picked a great day to do it too!  I decided to do another 50K since I was feeling pretty good since the last go around.  I'm glad I did.  I even met some bikers who I talked with for awhile on the trail.  Real nice people originally from Alaska, now living in Oregon.  We had a lot to talk about!  Great conversation!

I did the 50K just under 8 hours and felt reasonably well afterward. Go figure!  The route I chose was basically doing the whole Jem Trail and then the Hurricane Rim Trail.  Turns out, the Hurricane Rim trail was a third longer than expected, so I turned around early - but I was satisfied with what I ended up doing on it.  I parked my car in the middle of the run so I could go back to it and refill what I needed for the next segments.  Great aid station!

Lori met me at around the 25 mile mark and we both finished running to the car on the Jem Trail.  What a great way to end the day! 

Here are some pics!  Thank you for your support!
