This was a beast of a course!<br /><br />@Pam it was one heck of a cool adventure and a great break from the monotony of flat pavement :) Thanks!<br /><br />@Chris, thanks! I had that line running through my head a lot throughout the day. It's so true.<br /><br />@Gretchen thanks lady! It was totally a battle between us and the course, nothing else; and that is SO different from what we're used to. I'm glad we did it. It opens up a lot of different possibilities in my mind now. I'm taking baby steps into the world of beasty courses :) It was a good reminder that it's not always about how fast you can make it through, but rather just getting through it in one piece.<br /><br />@Leslie/Melty Canadian Girl I have a feeling you would really like this one, even with the heat. Definitely put it on your list!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936117159619262436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283731952214517381.post-5601816361186268842012-04-29T21:12:50.198-05:002012-04-29T21:12:50.198-05:00Well Done Might Running Duo!!

I had heard that about Zane Grey - that it's one of the most rugged 50 Milers out there. I may have to put it on the list, but the heat in April might turn me into a Melty Canadian Girl. :) But, it sounds like the type of course that I'd love!

I love it when finishing a beast of a race is a huge, gratifying accomplishment - when thoughts of being "fast" never enter the brain - it's just you and that trail, duking it out.

We have heard from a few friends who have run ZG that the what they call "trails" are super crazy tough - congrats on staying focused and finishing a great and memorable challenge. The sun and exposure always get to me during our summers, if we don't get out early. That's probably why we like to head to the mountains when we can over the summer - cooler up high and more trees/shade. Sounds like you followed it up nicely with your days in Sedona. Wise plan. Glad you had a fun runcation! :-)HappyTrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651141743444721517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283731952214517381.post-77242802070920433702012-04-26T19:33:12.590-05:002012-04-26T19:33:12.590-05:00Awe inspiring - congratulations on such a cool acc...Awe inspiring - congratulations on such a cool accomplishment!Alilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197122641986359703noreply@blogger.com
