Mid 1

3K walk on my meal break...still recovering from Saturdays 50K.

N89 The Great Mansfield 50K Tail Race - Saturday May 30, 2026

Did the Mansfield race again this year. Raj and Patrick joined me for another crack at it. Great weather , fantastic course and good company summed up the day. We we slow by design! An hour in we had on covered 5K averaging a 12:00 pace... yes we were actually running albeit a little soo slow. The half way cutoff was at 13:00 , 5 hours after the race start. At the pace we were going we were in danger of getting pulled off course. Between 5 and 12 K we pulled some 8:00 Ks putting enough time in the bank. Our 25K time was around 4hrs23min. The guys were moving well the whole 50K , it was slow but steady so no death march. The second half was all about getting it done. We wrapped somewhere around 9 hours definitely my slowest 50K ever but it didn't matter. We hung out for an hour after the race having a cold beer and talking to Robin. On the way home we stopped at the "Burger Bus" on Airport Road that the Honeywood turn off...best burger I had in some time.

Working Eves

Back to work after a few weeks off. Did a 3K walk on my meal break.

Impromptu Trail Run

Got a call on the early afternoon , Raj and Patrick were going to loop BV at 4pm. Feeling tired I was on the fence however after I thought about it why not!

Did a sub 4 hour 21.X again...felt super solid. I was 10 degrees warmer and quite humid compared the previous 4 laps of BV. Tool some S Caps and went through 2L of water compared to the 1.25L recently.

Not going to do much the rest of the week with the N89 50K on Saturday .... feeling ready!
