A SUB 5 HR 50k to END YEAR

I crossed the line in 4:59:45. (5th place)
The course was a hilly 2 loops and my plan was to stay consistent on both. The first loop was OK. I wasn't feeling the greatest as my core (injury) was hurting throughout as soon as the race began. Could have been from the cold. Temperature at the start was a balmy 35F. Cold for me!
Anyway, I turned the first loop in 2:17 and I wanted to do the 2ND in at least 2:30. After a couple of spills on the trail I didn't believe that was going to happen. I just kept pushing and just made the under 5hr mark. Pretty great way to end a year of plagued with injury after injury. Looking forward to HEALING and a great 2012.
