#76 Big Wash Trail Ultra!

 Yesterday I decided to do my own ultra marathon in an area near my home while I'm fairly in shape from the last one.  I mean, why not right?  I have the time and nothing else was going on.  The big wash trail in Catalina, AZ.  is an immense wash with trails everywhere - not so much elevation change, relatively flat with some rolling areas.  Lots of bikers can use most of the trails as well.  Kind of a wild area as well so it's a great area to maybe see some wild animals too.  Waking up a 5 am I finally got to the trailhead at 7:15 and it was 38 degrees!  Kind of chipper, but by 10 am I was stripping off the layers.  By 12:00 it was 70 degrees - perfect running weather.

I ran a total of 28 miles in a little over 7 hours, so I called it good!  I was home by 3:00 and in the hot tub at 3:30!  Oh how nice was that!  The beer also tasted pretty sweet later on as well, of course!

Well, here is a picture I took at the trailhead when I was finished.

Thanks all for your support!
