Run for Kids 6 Hour Ultra Marathon Jan 7 2012 York U
Did something a little bit different yesterday 6 Hours on the indoor running track at York U in Toronto. Had a blast, with everyone on a 239 meter track it was a very social event. I was headed out just to log a bunch of Ks aiming to complete a minimum of 50K and the stretch goal was 60K. I felt pretty solid through 5 hours but was very salty and in need of carbs. I didn't consume enough carbs or electrolytes and did 3 crash and recover routines. Walked a lap at 3 hours , Gelled for the 2nd time and took in a few cups of a sport drink. It only took a short time to pick up the pace again and I felt fully recovered. Same thing happened around 4 hours, this time it was a couple of laps of walking whilst taking in nutrition and hydrating. Final fade came at 5 hours , 3 laps of walking , Ginger Ale and Coke as well as a Gel. It took longer to get going again but I was moving very well through the last 30 minutes finishing the last lap at a little over a 4:00 pace to get 240 laps in with 24 seconds to spare. I was really surprised at how salty I was after the race. I plan on doing this one next year and will definitely plan better!!!!!
Overall I finished 7th out of the 27 doing the 6 hour event and was the 5th place male covering 55.57K in 5hrs59min36sec.
A nice email!
