Hey all!
I decided to do another one before the big heat up of the summer when I won't be doing many of these.
Too hot in AZ! Anyway, this ultra yesterday started out at 6 am on the AZ trail in Oracle. Going first south from tiger mine road for 7.25 miles then back to tiger mine - then up towards the state park for 2 miles and back- then, up the road for 5+ miles and back to get to a 28 mile ultra. My Strava stopped for some reason after 7.25 miles so all day I had to add my mileage to get to my number! Oh well, it was a nice cool morning for 4 hours or so then it got somewhat hot on the last 10 miles or so. The trail gets rocky from tiger mines road so I was slow here and fell a couple of times - but no biggie.
Lori and Shiley met me right when I finished too which was great! The cold diet coke and cool rag she had waiting for me tasted and felt fantastic! My time was about 7 3/4 hours on a great breezy day keeping me cool all day.
Here are some pics at the end. An end to a great long run on the AZ trail!
On 4/12/26 I donated $100.00 to the Shiley Alzheimer's Research Center
