Silver Rush 50 trail run
- Leadville, CO
- 50.4 miles
- 13:13:01
- 15:44 pace
- 7941 ft. of elevation
- aveHR 133
- maxHR 150
- same exact course as the mtb
Started the day thinking this could very well be a DNF and wasn't sure if I could make it to the turn around cutoff by the 7.5 hour time limit. I broke it down to 1-mile, one aid station at a time and convinced myself to power hike more than I thought I needed; any slight uphill. It worked, as I ticked away miles I gained confidence and strength. I can truly say that I got better as the day progressed and finished strong. I still experienced the same effects at altitude as I did the day before on the mountain bike, but today I had experience and a plan for those areas. I was in control again.
