So I met up with Barefoot Pablo at the Epiphany Ultra in the Oakland hills of CA this last weekend and ran my first 50k! I haven't ran since my trail marathon in October, but have been keeping up with my strength training and trying to stay uninjured. We completed it in 7:26 (Pablo had to resort to a little motivational clapping to get me moving at a couple spots, HA!!) but we did it!
Neither one of us were completely barefoot (we both wore Merrells), but we managed to make it through 4369' of elevation change and a little technical trail in some spots. I swear there wasn't even one flat part to that race!
Had a great time and am even considering a 50 miler at some point in my future, but we'll see.
