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
