I accomplished my goal of completing more races of marathon distance or more (58) than my age (57). This was my worst ultra-marathon time ever - it goes to show what happens when you barely train for a race! |

The weather was a lot nicer than last year's spring 50K, although my time was not much of an improvement due to a relative lack of training. This will give me a chance to work for a lot better time for the fall version of this race! |

Nicer weather than the Chicago Marathon three weeks earlier, but I should have trained more...I took the idea of tapering after the Chicago Marathon a little too seriously, and as a result I had my second worst 50K time ever |

it was a tough day along Lake Michigan, with the wind chill being 12 at the start of the race -there were very strong winds from the North the whole race - if I did not finish last, it was because someone started early - because my time was 7+ hours, I do not have an official time |

I saw several other Maniacs at the race, proudly wearing their tee-shirts. This was my hardest (and slowest) marathon to date, because of the altitude, the hills, and frankly because of my relative lack of training |

I saw one runner wearing a Marathon Maniac shirt. This was the 50th race that I completed of marathon distance or more - 44 marathons, 4 50Ks and 2 50 mile races. This was probably my last 50 mile race!!! |

It was a very windy day along the Chicago Lakefront, but otherwise the conditions were good. I saw about 5 other Maniacs "showing their colors" but I know that there were several of us who did not wear a Maniacs shirt. I only wear my shirt to Marathon distances... |

It was just a training run for the Illinois Marathon the following Saturday...and I met Larry Macon (Maniac # 120) who makes almost every other Maniac look like an amateur |
