Hey all! Yeah, I did another one while I was still in decent shape! Using my car as an aid station in the Tortolita trailhead, I had everything I needed. The course (mostly bike) course is set up as a 9.3 mile loop in the Tortolita mountains which are only a 30 minute drive from my house. So, I did 3 laps and then some to come in at 29 miles - right around 3:30 in the afternoon.
It was a beaut of a day, starting out pretty cold, but by the 2nd lap I had shed all of my extra layers. By the end, I was pretty tired and feeling the effects of the effort and of the previous ultra about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I had some bowel issues and some stomach pains during the first half of the run- which I rarely do, but I dealt with it by slowing down, eating, walking, hiking, and jogging when needed. Oh well.
Anyway, it was a good day and proud to put forth this effort. Thank you all for the support!
Here are some pics!
