#75 Collasal/Vail 55K Completed!

 Yes!  This was my second time running this race and now I remember why I don't want to run it more in the future. This is race , which is run entirely on the Arizona Trail is a very rocky section of the 800 mile trail.  I was tripping everywhere! No major falls and completed the 34+ mile in just over 9 hours.  It was actually a great day to run - lots of sun but a very cool breeze to keep runners cool.  It's basically a 16.9 mile out and back style of run.  It took me 4 hours on the way there and 5 hours on the way back.  The last 4-5 miles is basically not runnable - you just have to fast hike it to the finish.  My legs and feet were done!

Lori and Sunny met me at the 29 mile aid station which was a very welcome surprise.  Then Lori drove down to the finish and captured some great photos and video - all of which is greatly appreciated!  Thanks Lori - you're the best, of course!

Here are some photos.  Thank you all for your support!
