Hello all!
My 6th running of the Flagstaff to Grand 55K is now in the books! #68 Ultra Marathon! Wow, what a beautiful day too - all day! When we got to our hotel though, it was raining really hard and all through the night - and cold too! Lori and I met some good friends from last years race and had dinner with them the night before. They finished way before me so we didn't see them after the race. The run for me went great. I now confirm that I have a run, shuffle, walk, jog, and hike technique all in one. With this technique I manage to get a solid 15 minute per mile pace which is just fine by me! My overall time was just around 8 1/2 hours. Overall mileage was almost 34 miles.
After a shower and a beer, Lori, Sunny, and I went to a favorite restraunt and had a fantastic meal. I was in bed by 8 and probably sleeping by 8:30. I didn't get far reading my book that night! Overall, a fantastic day. This was our 35th Anniversary too, so it's extra special!
Thanks for all everyones support! Here are some pictures!
