5:35 finish, 15/37 place overall. This was a 50K (31.1 miles), the shortest ultramarathon distance - about five miles longer than a marathon - and only my third time going beyond 26.2. It’s a scenic but fairly tough, hilly course in the southwestern Adirondacks running mostly on dirt paths that are used for snowmobiles in the winter. It was significantly harder and slower than my only other 50K in 2018, but nothing close to the 55K earlier this year that was only three miles longer but over two hours slower.
Welcome! This blog gives a summary of each marathon with finish time/place, course info, conditions, and links to performance data and travel photos. There are also separate pages listing marathons in different countries/continents, states, and Canadian provinces as well as general info about my running background, frequently asked questions, and advice for anyone looking to start running or exercising more. This blog is linked on my Facebook page, but I'm very rarely on social media otherwise.
