Race Reports for JFK 50 Mile 2010

Race rating (5)

Comments: This is a well done race. I understand now why it is on people's bucket list and why people keep coming back. I enjoyed it very much and would whole heartedly recommend it. However, there are so many other races out there that I would like to experience that I doubt that I would do this one again.

Comments: The JFK 50 is very well supported and organized event. As it did for me, it can give one a very successful introduction to the world of ultramarathon. It's akin to a full Ironman in that it's more about endurance vs speed, though the top folks have both. And also you need to put in the time to train for the distance. As you may expect, my quads are complaining the day after and probably will for at least a few more days. But I learned that if I ever do another and get injured along the way, but still have time to prepare that I'll need to compensate for the lack of trail running so my quads are up to speed come race day. Thus ends my 2010 season and on a pretty high note I'd say. Will I do this again? Perhaps. It truly is an accomplishment in terms of endurance given the distance and varying terrain. And like many endurance events, it tests your physical as well as mental abilities that you'll encounter along the way. It may especially test your mental ability to go on though
