Zumbro Update

Well, here I am, inching ever closer to the big day - the day I run my first 50 mile trail ultra. Funny thing is, as I get closer to the day, I seem to be getting less nervous. I seem to have taken on more of a "well, if I'm not prepared enough by now" approach. Truth be told, aside from having to take a recent week off to recover from a mild concussion (from a fall I took while training, of course), training has gone well. My body has adapted and running feels good.

Course Map
The Zumbro course is a 16.7 mile loop with slightly less than 3000 feet of elevation gain per loop. For comparison's sake, the course for Surf The Murph has 2000 feet of elevation gain per loop (very similar distance per loop). So, while I know Zumbro to be a hilly course, I don't feel it will be that much different from Surf The Murph...well, except for running an extra loop to get to 50 miles!

Race Day
We plan to head down to Zumbro after work on raceday (the race starts at midnight Friday - early Saturday). Race check-in opens at 10:30 and then we'll be off at midnight.
