Chase the Coyote – the final chase.

nn

Post run hydration is important – number 9 in a series.

I finished the Chase the Coyote 50k yesterday and it was not pretty. I was not properly prepared – my training did not go according to plan this year. And I did just about everything wrong for hydration and nutrition during the race. But I finished! And I believe I set a course record for the slowest time to complete the 50k!

Thanks to @monocentrebrewingco. I can’t remember when a beer has ever tasted as good as the one I drank when I got home. I believe your beer has life-giving properties!

nn

Thanks to @dufferindirtrunners and all the volunteers – you make these events possible!

nn

A big thank you to @sharkrunner17 for leaving the porch light on staying and to present my finisher’s medal. I will treasure this one!

nn

Another big thank you to @theultranorm for his support during my 2nd loop. This was the most grueling thing I have ever done and he helped me get through it.

nn

And a special thank to Mary Fischer. We ran the first loop together and she waited until I finished my second loop!

nn

Sorry to see CTC go but what an incredible way to end it!
