I awoke at 5:30 for the 7:00 AM start of my first ultra. It was pretty chilly with the temperatures in the lower forties. Of course I did not sleep well. I was actually awake well before the alarm ever went off. My friend (also a first time ultra runner) and I checked in and awaited the start on this beautiful sunny morning. The race started and everyone went out slow and most walked the first hill before we went into the woods. We picked a group of experienced runners and stayed with them for a few miles. The pace felt very slow, but I knew we had a long way to go. We finally passed them before we reached the first aid station. We had run a majority of the course the week before and this proved to be very helpful as some of the runners ahead of us missed the first aid station. The aid station was a half of a mile off the main trail. Those runners later had to run that loop twice. I lost some clothing at the first aid station as it was starting to warm up. We ran at a comfortable pace for about the next 15 miles, walking up most of the hills. I still felt very strong as we approached an aid station at mile 20, but my friend was starting to cramp and his pace slowed. We began to get passed by a few runners and I desperately wanted to catch them. We agreed that I would go on once we reached the next station. We checked in and I took off like I was running a 5K. I still had about 10-12 miles to go! I passed about a dozen people before I reached the last aid station before the finish. I guzzled a small bottle of Gatorade and ate a cookie. I checked the water in my camelback and thought it would do me for the last leg. I again started out very fast and one of the other runners commented that I most have gotten a second wind. By now the temperatures had reached 60 degrees and I was becoming very hot. I ran out of water with 2-3 miles left to go. My over enthusiasm finally caught up with me and struggled mightily those last couple of miles, but never got passed. Even though it was painful I was glad I had found my limit. This was one of the most difficult, painful, frightening, and fun things I have ever done in my life. I already want to run another. I can barely walk today, but I'm sure I'll be all right a few days. I got to thank my friend for getting me into this. I just hope he is not too mad at me for leaving him. I finished the race in under 6 and half hours.
