I did several ultras in 2009 and 2010, mostly trail 50Ks, but one trail 50 miler. They are a lot of fun and such a cool, relaxed atmosphere. I’m focusing on training for Lake Placid this winter and spring, but I am going to do the Tussey Mountainback 50 Miler in mid-October. That one’s about 75% dirt road and 25% paved road, which should be interesting. Michael Wardian won it last year in about five and half hours, averaging 6:40 a mile or so: just insane!
Enjoy the trails! Triathlon is fun every now and again, but trail running is my true love.
