HURL - Helena Ultra Runners League

Run til you hurl, then run some more.....

Saturday May 19th adventure run.  First we climbed up to where we were going to run.

Don't Fence Me In 30K: Heaven and Hell

Beautiful trail, sunny day, great cause.  I know these trails well and was enjoying the heck out of myself.  The total elevation gain is over 4,000 feet.  At about Mile 16, my head popped off.  ha-ha.  I was starting to pick up my pace to make my goal time.  Then, I realized that my "running math" was wrong - as usual.  It is almost impossible for me to add, subtract and mutilple after I have been running for a few hours.  The brain just doesn't compute.  When I knew I wasn't going to make my goal, I got pissed.  Then I was running and swearing until the end!  I hate it when that happens!!  I got over it when I learned that the true distance WAS printed on the map and I was the one who read it wrong.
