If you're ever a lot further back like I was, you also have folks in front you want to pass and folks behind who want you to step aside so they can pass you. Meanwhile, you're trying to dodge poison oak and mainly just trying get done with that section. I thought the hardest part was that first (steeper) hill in the 3.5 mile finish. It was a huge relief after about 1/4 mile when it transitioned into something less steep. If it had stayed that steep, it would have been a brutal finish.Stephen Pearcyhttps://sactrustlawyers.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945746033706054617.post-54877906814419356932014-04-06T14:07:48.514-07:002014-04-06T14:07:48.514-07:00Excellent BLOG: You and I have something in common...Excellent BLOG: You and I have something in common. We are both 7th year consecutive finishers of the AR50 2008-2014 except that I am much slower and ran my first Ultra (AR50)at age 50. I liked the new course and was only 1 minute slower than last year. See you in 2015!Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945746033706054617.post-84681801141221051362014-04-06T11:26:20.004-07:002014-04-06T11:26:20.004-07:00Ok, now it's Joanne for real. :) Just read thi...Ok, now it's Joanne for real. :) Just read this, and wow, amazing job! And what an amazing crew Agnes is, she's a good example. :) Also, that's really awesome that you found something to help with your allergies for this race. Must have been frustrating those first few years, knowing that you could go faster, but the allergy issue was holding you back. tsbjfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916757668094786462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945746033706054617.post-20637432155129112952014-04-06T10:23:33.045-07:002014-04-06T10:23:33.045-07:00Congrats.
