Jeff Mims Finishes His First 50K Trail Run

Finished in 6:36:06.  Much better than I thought I would do, and I started 2 minutes behind everyone in dead last place.  Crazy story I'll have to tell you sometime.  Thanks for everything.  It was a great experience.  Everything had hoped it would be.

Here are the pics.  I actually started last because of going to the bathroom, and then running off without my water bottle b/c the race had just started. I came back and found my wife to get it.  Crazy.  Did ok overall.  I had some trouble wanting to drink my gatorade after a while.  I ended up drinking a lot of water, and didn't manage my salt very well.  Got cramped in my thighs right behind the knees on the inside of both legs with 1 1/2 miles left. 

Goal accomplished.  Now its time to go faster. I know I could have had a better race with a good start and getting my nutrition/salt better. 

Thanks for your help.  Look forward to talking to you soon.  By the way, swiftwick 7's merino wool= no blisters.

The Dog Pack Runs Potomac Heritage Trail

The Dog Pack from L to R:  Adam Sotelo, Jack Bourgeois, ST, Kokolulu, Cooper, and Daniel Baldwin.  

Dan at the first river crossing.

Adam powering up a hill.

It got pretty technical in some areas.

We just finished a huge climb so Dan and Adam are resting.

Cooper wants up but he can't climb up the rocks.

Adam next to the Potomac, and Jack's huge butt.

SHOCKING BUT TRUE!  Adam's feet can cling to walls. 

The truth behind trick photography EXPOSED.

Dan is bonking but he is trying not to show it.

Cool bridge crossing near town.

After ~12 miles of trails, we had 3 miles left to run through town.
