Comments:

Wow...50 km is a LONG way! I felt great the first 4 loops but the last loop was physically and mentally challenging. My pace dropped from mid 7's to 9's. But I was happy overall with my performance because I felt I may be undertrained for this.
What would you do differently?:

I would more LONGER runs
Post race
Warm down:

Not much of a warm down...after running 50km I ready to just sit!

Event comments:

I loved this race...48 people in total. It was small, low key and fun!
