Squawpeak 50 Mike

The race went well for me after the first 16 miles; I am unclear as to why? However was pleased with my 8th finish .The conditions were very good for the most part. There were some times that the heat became very evident often times like a sauna. But as soon as the heat became so intense I would go through the trees and was cooled down. I met some new people along the way and enjoyed running with them. I was trying for the first time a mix called Citomax,I am now a believer of the product. Nothing against any other .Tom Remkeys and Matt Connors uses this as well and they have been trying to get me to use the product for some time now, but have never listened to them until before the race. I can see how it feels to run an ultra without cramping in anyway. As the race progressed into mile 40 just after the highest point of the race, Windy pass I began the funniest part of the race for me because its got the most snow and or mud its fast its technical and challenging because of the rocks and ruts and challenges of each turn. The last three miles are on the oil and this year was different than most, I actually ran the entire way without any issues. The finish line was very eventful because my family was there too welcome me for a job well done. I enjoyed the visiting with some very good friends of mine and all who are very fast in their efforts of racing ultras Tom Remkies Matt Conners Karl Meltzer Scott Mason and many others that possess the same. Off to Hard Rock 100...
