Extreme Veteran  357   Ft. Myers, Florida |  Subject: RE: who is doing an ultra this weekend?Comet - 2013-01-28 11:34 AM I am at Rocky this weekend too! I've gone the 100 mile distance twice at Umstead but DNF'd Javelina at 82 miles in November so I'm looking for revenge on the distance. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate. Just have a mindset that crossing the finish line is your ONLY option. If you can be patient in the early miles you'll be able to just keep moving. Good luck.djastroman - 2013-01-28 11:17 AM Rocky is this week for me. It's weird, no nervousness or anything this time around. I'm excited as it will be a really fun weekend camping with the wife, but for some reason I kind of just want it to be over so I can start thinking about my bike again. I guess I can't focus on just one sport for too long or I get burned out. Me too! My first 50miler. Did a brutal marathon in Dec, 2 in the last 2 weeks. No real 'mid distance' runs. Heh. Totally unprepared, but I'm planning on using my 29hrs to finish! |

Master 1883  San Antone, Texas | Subject: RE: who is doing an ultra this weekend? Well it was just not meant to be at Rocky for me. 4 laps, 80 miles, and my body and mind gave out on me. Looking back I wonder if I could have hobbled for another 9 hours to finish in the time limit. I don't really know the answer to that, but I do have a much greater respect for the distance and more knowledge of what it will take to finish if I ever want to attempt it again. Right now I'm not sure. Tomorrow I bet i'll be ready to sign up for next year |

Queen BTich 12411 , | Subject: RE: who is doing an ultra this weekend? Prairie Spirit 50 yesterday. You might have seen that not-so-little snowstorm that Kansas City got... It's not so fun doing an ultra in a snowstorm. Just sayin'. But, I got my buckle and I'm never coming back. Now, I wait in my hotel because I can't get out of the parking lot to get to the airport. |

And everyone else, THIS is what happens when you sign up for an "easy 50" reported to be beginner friendly. I *thought* it wouldn't be a big deal to add on another 50 after Rocky Raccoon, flat, unremarkable out-and-back. |

I froze in the ~40 degree weather we had in the hil country this weekend! |

For the last 3 miles I had TWO sets of hand warmers in my gloves, against my skin (even though they say not to put it against your skin) and I was STILL cold!

It's finally HERE! Challenging weather just makes for a more "epic" race. Edited by InnerAthlete 2013-04-03 7:28 PM |

I will do my best to show up and get where I need to be to assist DJ as a pacer starting around that mile point. My first time being a pacer, too. Should be interesting. Go get 'em, Donk-a-saurus!
