In the photo Iām 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 š·) and share salty snacks, a needed boost.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Taking notes as memories resurface.

Nothing like pushing physical limits outdoors while watching constellations fade from the sky as it turns from black to navy, to ever lighter shades of blue. The horizon lit up with a purple orange yellow gradient, until the sun pierced the cloudcover (4), bathing everything in warm light. Made it to the top (5) with a solid crew (6).<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />2500+' climbed in just 3+ miles to the top, then ~6 miles down for ~9 miles total before 09:00.http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2018-09-20T05:24:00+00:002018-09-20T05:24:00+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttp://tantek.com/Tantek San Francisco, CA tag:status.blaise.ca,2018-09-20:objectType=thread:nonce=12ec75b3233b69e3
