I just finished my first 50K ultra the Folsom point spring 50k trail run. My goal not to come in last and break 7 hours. Which I did both placed in the middle of the pack and did the run in a 6 hr 14min time. All I have to say is Ultra's are a true test to ones self mentaly and physically. I can't wait to do another one, I was ready to go again two days after this race. Here is the race info for anyone interested in competing in it next year. Also, for anyone on the West Coast check out this sight for races.
