The loop thing does sound a little (ok a lot) discouraging though. Great effort!!!<br />Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02902173640094934686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509503848926866753.post-57076202910405234672013-04-29T21:07:52.142-04:002013-04-29T21:07:52.142-04:00I know you'll run another long race.

But I keep coming back because there is so much room for improvement with proper training and race day execution. I want to nail a great 50K some day. It will hurt, I'll suffer, but it'll be very rewarding. Chin up! A 3:15 trail 40K is a monster run!

I will say that is a very fast 40k time, and good for you for sticking by your decision to stop, instead of pushing through and not being able to run for a while afterwards. <br /><br />For me, I wanted to tough it out to the end of my first 50k because I knew that I could take a few weeks off of running afterwards to recover. I do want to do another 50k race someday, but I agree that the long endurance races are not fun the same way as shorter races where you can go fast!
