run an ultramarathon
Technically an ultramarathon..... 13 months ago

So I attempted the Vermont 50 mile over the weekend. I had been training since May, but a last-minute change of course meant that I had not trained on enough hills. A weekend rain deluge also made for crazy slippery and muddy conditions. The good news is that I can honestly say that I did my best, but the bad news is that the effort was insufficient to finish. The race staff pulled me off the course at mile 27 as my pace had fallen below the pace necessary to finish in 12h. Next time, I guess.
