Coastal 50k: 3 x 3
| September 20, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Event Report, Ultra Running |
I’m going straight to the 3 by 3 evaluation because there isn’t much of a story here – ran 14 miles the day before the race and besides one little arm-flapping-hysterical-shriek complete with teleportion to the side of the trail when I was surprised by something behind me (it was a bike, and no I […] more

It was deja vu all over again. Coming into Granite Bay, my race was once again over. Six miles to go and no more time on the clock. The cut off was 5:12 for the *44 mile check and I was running just as fast as I could and hiking when I couldn’t. I had […] more
