Gonna run my first race in September. I chose this one because its 100% trail/dirt. (I hate runnin on pavement, even for one mile, makes me feel like im ruining my legs and back, awful, i did it once, will never do it again!)....Anyways, I also picked this cause its got ele change. I though flat ground wouldnt be any challenge or fun. So, Im hoping ill do ok, since i run across the grand canyon, and 30+ miles up 11,000ft mtns n stuff just for fun, I should be able to do a 50 over some hills, as its at sea level, and the gains are only 900 to 1000ft at a time, im pretty much all ready now, im going to raise my mileage a lil by doing some back to back long runs through July, but since im already runnin 10-12 a day after work at 4000ft elevation, and on one my days off work i do 26-30 miles with about 10-15,000 ft of change, i think im in good shape.
anyone else on here run this trail(s) befor? just curious.
