Monument Valley 50 Mile Ultra Marathon Race Report
(apologies for the font changes, can't figure it out) On November 22 at 8:45 AM an ad for this race showed up in my browser. I've always wanted to see Monument Valley and lately I've been thinking about trying out an Ultra Marathon. You know, sometimes a regular marathon which is 26.2 miles just leaves you longing to run just a bit more. Being the impulsive person that I sometimes am I signed up. A few minutes later, at 8:49 AM when I received the sign-up confirmation email I was like, "What the hell did I just do!?!?". I started looking at race reports and training plans. The reports didn't sound bad at all and the training plans seamed doable so it was game on. During the race I figured out that these reports where not written by Ultra Marathon virgins and they were written by folks that are in insane shape and run these events all the time. So if you're researching this race and it's your first Ultra and you found this report...BEWARE!!!!
