| no partners | | I have officially gone off my rocker! 
Last year's marathon wasn't enough physical torture for my body, so this year I opted for the 51K. In honor of Area 51, of course.
The course, ET HWY 375, was its usual charming self, with plenty of opportunities for UFO sightings thanks to low clouds and far-off lightning.
Some spots you could tell had had wash-over from recent storms, but that had been cleared and cones placed to warn of any drop-offs at the shoulder.
The dense cloud cover meant it wasn't as light as last year's run and the coyotes seemed to be staying at home. It did rain on us fairly hard for about 2 miles and then lightly on and off a few other times. Fortunately, no nearby lightning and it never did pour. Mostly I just ran along (and then trudged at the end), since it was hard to really look around much in the dark.
The almost full moon did come out from behind the clouds a little every now and then, and sunrise was the beautiful kind we rarely get here.
This is a great run if you like a road course and night running with a twist. I myself will be back, but haven't decided on the distance. |
