Psycho Psummer 50k Race Recap

Three Trail Nerds ultras in a row! Super hot and super humid. This race is where I fell in love with the ice bandana. I ran it slow and stayed cool managing to avoid hitting a wall. I ate plenty of solids, several 33 Shake packets, and took a S cap every 30 minutes.

Finished in 7:36 and placed 38 out of 59 finishers which was out of 85 starts. In the winter version I placed 72th percentile and managed to move up to 64th percentile. SWAG included a bottle opener metal, beer glass, t-shirt and a trucker hat to give me a complete Psycho Wyco set.

See how I conquered the brutal heat in my video recap of the race.

Second DNF of the Summer - Attempting Rock Away Day 50 Miler

Rock Away Day is the second race in a 2-day Trail Nerds event. It's a three-loop, 50-mile course on the Lake Perry MTB trails. In August 2016, the humidity was over 80% and only 6 of the 14 starting runners completed the race.
