Race Report: Finger Lakes 50K and Surviving the Devil’s Anus

7/2/2018

Picture

Around mile 15, I truly questioned if I wanted to continue on with this race and if I would make it as a trail runner.  I managed to accidentally kill a baby snake by mile 10, get lost for two hours and the temperature jumped from 72 to 91 degrees within hours.  What did I sign up for?

Operating on weekend warrior status for the last two months has been an incredible experience.  I am both exhausted and filled with an incredible surge of energy. My body feels like a brick most days and my weight has been going through a rollercoaster ride, despite my dress size remaining the same.  On Friday morning, I weighed in at a solid 233 pounds—typically I only use the scale when I’m either expecting my menstrual or my endometriosis is flaring. Entering week ten of my Javelina Jundred 100K training, I am experiencing a wave of drastic loss and gains in weight.  Not sure if I should be concerned but I’ll chat with my doctor and sports nutritionist before the end of the month.

NOTE: I must mention in the age of the Internet’s love of giving unsolicited advice, don’t send any suggestions or speculation my way.  

Inspecting my packed bags are a regular part of my routine for any race that requires me to leave NYC.  As an ultra endurance runner, one of the worst things to go through is having the wrong gear, particularly sneakers, and waking up the morning of in a panic.  By 4pm, my husband and I left our home to go forth on my adventure to do the Finger Lakes 50K/50 miler.
