Hawthorn Half Day Ultra-Marathon

I completed the Hawthorn 12 hour race this Saturday. It is a competition to see how far you can go in the set amount of time. I had intended on doing the 6 person relay like last year, but that did not work out. Despite not putting in any special training, having a long work week, and 93 degree heat, the race went well. I had lots of friends racing, plus I met a lot of cool new people as I was running. Here is the results page. Some of the distances completed are amazing. As you can see from my splits, I took advantage of the cooler weather in the morning and took it easy at the end. The splits don't show the final .4 mile lap I did just to get over 50 miles.
