Big 50

Last race of the Canadian Champs was the epic 50km classic. I've never done a real 50km race before (I've done the Buckwheat 50km last year but that was a pretty flat, easy course compared to this one!). The race was ok. I wasn't feeling super great halfway through the race and was thinking about pulling out to maybe save some energy for the races next week in the US but in the end I figured I'd better finish my first 50km. I actually felt quite strong in my last 7.5km lap and made up some time. I finished in 12th...same as my bib. Now off to Maine for the Super Tour finals in Fort Kent...should be fun!

Going through the scoop downhill part way through the race.
