Ran my second 50k on Saturday. I was not able to complete it. I felt crushed after having done 25 miles of it. Only needed 6 miles to go but ran out of time. I made a lot of mistakes.
First mistake: I bought a brand new pair of trail running shoes, my first pair ever and I decided to run in those.
Second mistake: I carried with me a huge camelback back pack that held 6 litters of water and had a bunch of snacks that I didn't even consume.
Last but not least: I didn't train or prepare as well as I should have for this race. On the bright side I met a lot of really cool new friends. I can't wait to try again next year.
