In the photo I’m massaging a midsection cramp while power hiking uphill, and grinning because I knew I was almost at the top of the last big climb of the course.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />First race post lockdown was exciting, fun, steady, strong, until a downhill trip (no fall) broke my momentum, strained the right leg/glute, and killed the appetite. Struggled and pushed thru remaining climbs to finish strong on the final downhill without injury, 26s longer than 2018.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Great starting with 50k runners Bryan & Eliza, and having pal Erika run me in the last 4 miles (also took this 📷) and share salty snacks, a needed boost.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Taking notes as memories resurface. Processing everything & how each section went, insights gained, and lessons learned.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />#<span class="p-category auto-tag">runner</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">running</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">instaRunner</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">trailRunner</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">ultraRunner</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">trailRace</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">grassRootsGear</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">NovemberProject</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">NPSF</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">Marin</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">MarinHeadlands</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">CoastalTrail</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">Hill88</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">uphill</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">powerhike</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">50kTraining</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">50mileTraining</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">2021_219</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">laterGram</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">noFilter</span><br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />The night before: <a class="auto-link" href="https://tantek.com/t5E51">https://tantek.com/t5E51</a><br class="auto-break" />2018 Rodeo Valley: <a class="auto-link" href="https://tantek.com/2018/175/t1/finished-rodeovalley-my-first-30k">https://tantek.com/2018/175/t1/finished-rodeovalley-my-first-30k</a>http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2021-08-09T20:00:00+00:002021-08-09T20:00:00+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttp://tantek.com/Tantek San Francisco, CA tag:status.blaise.ca,2021-08-09:objectType=thread:nonce=7f7d9ba02a2a67e2
