Scorched Sole 50 miler 2009

So it's did!
My gameplan worked just fine.
I hung out at the back of the pack of 17 starters
Of the inaugural 80k(50Mi) here in Kelowna.
This year was the first time that the newly re-built
Trestles were incorporated into the course, after the disasterous fire that burnt for weeks
In the valley and mountains behind Kelowna.
I ran the entire race work Gail and Janet.
We talked Ultra the whole way and by the second 30k loop
of the Myra bypass we had managed to reel in about 6 stragelers.I ran the 80k in 9:44:11 and finished in the middle pack. Official points,standings and finishers medal will follow in due course. This should give you an idea of the beauty up there to behold.

Very nice, especially with the clear skies and the blackened timber...

Very nice, Carlos. I believe I drove over the original trestle while crewing for ActionJackosn in the Ultraman/Earth Journey race in the early 90th. We had a film crew on board, the van's sliding doors wide open, freaking me out...ActionJackson proceeded to run on the small side rail, freaking me out even more. Glad the trestles are rebuild.
