My training leading up to the race went well. I did a lot of hill training and a fair amount of tempo and speed work.
We stayed in the race hotel by the river which made race morning so much less stressful.

I cranked the pace down after the midway point, suffered a bit after the big hill on 16th Ave, but pushed hard to the finish.

The ladies field was strong. I had to kick hard to keep from getting passed by the 4th place woman who is barely visible as a grey blur over my shoulder in this photo of my sprint to the finish:

Finish time was 1:00:24, averaging under 6:30 per mile. I ran a pretty steady race, actually a bit faster than I thought I would be able to go.

Boom! This race has a real shotgun start.

I used the same fueling strategy and equipment that I did for the Stump Jump, including my Topo Terraventure 2 shoes which I love. Without the elevation and stairs to deal with, I intended to run the entire race. With the exception of a few stops to refill water bottles, etc. I succeeded at running the whole 50k distance.

The night before the race I went to bed early and had a great sleep. Morning breakfast was much larger than my usual cup of coffe. I ate a few spoons of greek yogurt, a banana, and a bowl of oatmeal with chia seeds.
Race fuel, electrolytes, and water setup - I used GU and SaltStick caps, half with caffeine, half without. I carry the SaltStick caps in a flask of honey and water. The "pills" don't tend to dissolve in the bottle, I usually end up shaking it out of the bottle into my mouth after consuming the liquid.
Duke's Shorty Sausages are a real food option but I need to practice with those more. When huffing and puffing up a steep incline it is hard not to get a piece of food down the wrong pipe and then having to deal with coughing for a few minutes. Dried dates also make a great "real food" calorie option for me.
I also carried some granola with me decided not to eat it.
For water I carry two soft flasks in my race vest and a waist pack water bottle.
I put the following in my drop bag so I could quickly swap in calories and water quickly:
* two soft water flasks
* one bottle of honey and water mixture with a SaltStick cap
* dried dates and shorty sausages
* Two GU gel packets.
I probably took in at least 700 calories total during the race.
I also had an extra hand-held water bottle in the drop bag just in case, but didn't use it. Aid station staff were doing a good job of filling my waist belt water bottle and the stations were frequent enough. I didn't refill any of the soft flasks during the race, I just changed them out at my drop bag.
