Running: Sat, 7 Jun 2014 17:46:59 – Manitou Pre-Race Run
A week after my fail attempt to finish Cayuga 50 miles and 2 weeks before Manitou, I really got a cold feet. With 14000 ft total gain in 54 miles (4000 more than Cayuga) and super technical, it would be my toughest race yet. The race director, Charlie, he was so nice that he was willing to take us to taste the last 16 miles of the race, and it was a night run. Which was make sense, because there would be a big chance that I would run this section after dark. Despite my hip flexor that just recover, I braced myself to drive up there and met up with a group of people, and doing an overnight run in Catskill. Even with my fresh legs, it was pretty tough gnarly run. Crossed my fingers that I would be ready physically and mentally.
Cayuga 50 Trail 2014 – Stairways To Heaven or Heaven of Stairs
The Course
50 miles run in and out of gorges, pass numerous waterfalls, negotiate creek crossings, and climb/descend roughly 10,000 feet over variable terrain.
I might have underestimated this race. I thought after I finished the Bear Mountain 50 miles race with ankle injury from the previous month, and I felt 90% recovered on my Dirty German 50K race 2 weeks earlier, I thought would nail this race and would make a PR. Unfortunately it was not the story in this tale.
Minnewaska Undercliff – Fire Tower – Overcliff Loop : Mon, 26 May 2014 10:30:30
It was a long weekend and I thought I should hit another easy trail with a little scrambling. And the answer was the Gunks. The downside was, there were too many recreational hikers that made me stop and walked a few times. But it was a good day with a perfect weather that I couldn’t ask more.
