WILLIAMS JUNCTION—The National Weather Service predicts the temperature near the start of the FullMoon 50K will be 93°F at 7 p.m., with a heat index of 104. Perfect.
Susy told me that quitters are still permitted to turn around at the halfway aid station, aka the 25K turnaround. That's what I plan to do.
As it turned, I spent about ten minutes debating whether to continue to the 50K turnaround. I made a wise choice and finished the lengthy 25K in 5:05:53 (it's more like 17 miles than 15.5). Slow as that is, I was pleased. My feet are kind of beat up.
Oh. A cold front, not expected until Sunday morning, ran through at about 6 p.m. We got a little thunder and about ten minutes of hard rain. Whereas Friday night it seemed as if the air were made of egg drop soup, for the races it was much drier, nearly pleasant.
Wait a minute. Check this out. I guess I did the 50K. Finished 15th overall.
