Silver Rush 50 July 17th Sunday

Silver Rush 50!!  Last long distance race before leadville 100!  I will know how I am at this race.  However, I have been sick for nearly 3 weeks since I was in Japan.  I feel aweful.  I could not decide wether I should be doing this race or not.  Friday night, I decided I needed to eat good comfort food and see how I feel on Sat morning.  This is Traditional Japanese meal, SUKIYAKI.  I got fresh eggs from farm, thanks to Mr and Mrs Palmer.  I dipped vegetable, tofu, and meat into raw egg.  YUMMY!  This gave me lots of energy, I felt lots better on Saturday.  I went ahead and raced 50 miles in Leadville.  I carried my cell phone in case I felt not good, I can call Yukiko, my best pacer.

thisis the hill runners will run up at the start!

post race meal...no appitite!ugh~

Anyhow, I finished the race.  I went too fast first 25, died at the last  25, nothing unusal about my race..
I am glad that I made it in 11:21.  I feel better about upcoming 100.
 well, see... Training will be continued....
