Capital Peak 50 mile report

Wow that's a lot of running. capital peak was my first 5o mile just three years ago. and since then I haven't really improved my 50mile time, until now! finishing in a smoking fast 8:43 and 8th overall. all the extra training I've been doing with my little running protege is really paying off. I kept saying to myself " you can run this " and with very few exceptions I ran and ran and ran, walking no more then a mile or so. this course is just fast for the amount of elevation it has. with 50 miles of winding single track I was in heaven. HERE's a shot of me at the peak where believe it or not it was snowing! Thanks Glenn. And thank you John for a great race and good times. No more races planned for the near future, but you never know. the trail is always calling me to come run.
