Angle Review

I did the Angle 50 miler yesterday. All went very well. My goal was 12 hours and I finished in 11:17 (5 hours for the first half) including missing the last turn into the finish area and running an extra ¾ of a mile.

The course was on the road and very challenging with lot of hills. The winds were brutal. There were very strong headwinds on the second half of the course. At time the wind was so strong that it was hard to breath.

Ultra aid stations were about 5 miles apart. They were OK but nothing near JFK or Umstead in selection.

The Devil may still be in the picture – but this course could be a killer in 100+ temperatures and no shade.



Will write more soon
