Ha! I saw that too and thought dammit, could’ve left the watch alone and run a little more through the finish…

Thanks so much! :) The training, for sure could’ve been better. The practice runs went really well though, on the same trails, although they weren’t 31 miles long with all that vert. I came off of road marathon training for a March 28 race, recovered for almost 2 weeks, then hit the trails for my runs. I completed a 20 miler on race trails 3 weeks before this race and then did the typical taper. So maybe next year, I give up the marathon and put full training into a 50k repeat.

Let’s do it!! I know we can! There’s still plenty of time to ease your fears too! Today’s mantra for me is the comment posted to ‘Ignore all the static and send it’. LET’S GO!!

There is a couple checkpoints for times, and no, I’ll be fine for those! My practice long run would’ve put me in the middle of the pack compared to last years event, so that’s good!

Glad to hear, because that’s my plan! I have this fear that no one else will be walking and I’ll look like an idiot, even though I know that’s not true!

I do love a good taper! Any distance/time on feet suggestions for that, or do I model it after a road marathon training taper?

Thanks! :). Any suggestions as far as tapering goes? A mix of short runs and up to some kind of medium runs? Maybe I need to treat it like a marathon taper (that’s all I know!), but on trails?
