2022 WV Trilogy 50k

Image
 I ran my first ultramarathon, the WV Trilogy 50k on Oct 7, 2022.   I  thought that I may finish in under seven hours, and was on track at 11 miles. But the first hill destroyed my legs caused severe leg cramping for the rest of the day. I learned that day that shins can cramp, I still don’t know how. I was also not eating nearly enough because everything I’d hurt my stomach. I finished in 8 hours and 17 minutes. The last hill was 1 mile from the finish and when I got to the top of that hill I could see the finish line but I could not run or take a step. Because of cramps. Three people passed me within sight of the finish line.  I finished 39th of 46 and I look forward to trying it again next year
