great Youngstown Ultra Trail Classic 50K 30.27 mi 05:41 11:16 pace

My first ultra marathon; done! I beat my 6 hr goal by almost 20 minutes and placed 19th. This was the roughest terrain I have ever raced (or even trained on). Running over roots, rocks, trees, boulders, stone paths/steps and single track the whole way and, yes; it was up and down steep hills all day long. My Garmin registered a total ascent of 10,729 ft and total decent of 10,693 ft. May times I was shocked at the routes they picked for the race. But hey, they make it tough, and that’s what we like. It was by far my best run experience to date!

    Dude. That's TWO vertical miles. Up.. and down. I will never complain about a steep trail again.

    Epic run! Amazing accomplishment to have all your training pay off with such a complete expenditure of your energy. You're an inspiration to all your fellow dailymilers. I dub you the two mile vertical ascent ultra man. Wow! Two miles up and two miles down over the course of your day is beyond comprehension. Well done!

    If I had any extensive dirt trails within running distance of my home, I'd be onboard... :-)
