Holy crap, great job finishing man! What do you think happened? Some sort of mega-bonk out there? Generally people say taking 30 minute naps during 30 mile races does not make for great finishing placement ![grin](/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) And here's a cool video for all you Western States fans out there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha2o5sD0Lkk Between me, Jeff (in blue sitting down) and Matt (in red) we've got 5 tickets for this year's lottery. I like those odds! Somebody is going to make it through Edit: It may actually be 6-7 tickets now that I think of it
I'm in on that lottery also! ![headbang](/images/graemlins/default/headbang.gif)
I've been going over and over in my head what could have happened. I really didnt feel like I was pushing to hard on the first 25k loop, but I noticed early that I just didnt feel right on the downhill sections...like just no get up and go. I had a cold kind of thing the whole week before and had some sore swollen glands, so I think something was just off with me. It really scared the shit out of me though.

Interesting that you seem down on the bike end of things, yet you're super strong on the bike leg. ![crazy](/images/graemlins/default/crazy.gif)
I'm on day 2 of couch to 5k, trying this shit again, hoping not to hurt myself again. Buying some new shoes in the next week or so.
Been riding fairly hard, so the cardio end of it is nothing. Impact hasn't felt bad at all.

Buying some new shoes in the next week or so. Been riding fairly hard, so the cardio end of it is nothing. Impact hasn't felt bad at all.
The problem was the course. It 3 miles out and 3 back on a non-closed, narrow bike path along the aquaduct. There are 3 underpasses you go through each way, and you are absolutely not allowed to pass on those sections. The first (and last) underpass had 6 inches of water covering the path because it was a really high tide. I caught up to the tail end of the wave in front of me as well, pso I had to slow for some strategic passing as well.
So yeah....I spent half the time getting held up by people in front of me, then the other half hammering to get back up to speed. Straight shot I probably could shave a few minutes off that time.

By "you seem down on the bike thing" I meant that "you don't seem enthused about riding/training on the bike". You did well on the bike leg.

Ah..gotcha. ![wink ;\)](/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)
I LOVE racing on the bike, I just dont care for the whole training part of it...since it takes time away from my running. I still plan on racing a few tris next year with maybe a half iron being my A race though.

And where did you hear about AR runners asking for refunds? That's hilarious I've read some comments saying the changes shouldn't have a significant impact on lottery odds as people will simply move up to 100K races. I don't believe it. I think there's an army of 10-11 hour 50 milers out there who are in big trouble. 100km at 16 hours is slower than that, no?

True, but I've seen a lot of people finishing their first 50 around the 11 hour mark and there's no way in hell they're tacking on another half marathon. It's like watching survivors of a car accident stumbling around out there
