The Dick Collins Firetrails 50 Mile Race...

... is next Saturday.
I'm in decent, though not top, shape and will be
shooting for a time around 9:30. I ran the DC four
years ago and finished in 9:41 so it would be nice to
find that I'm just getting better with age! OTOH, I
won't plan to go quite all out as the DC is more of a
training run, my last chance at a 50 mile race before
the HURT 100 mile race
in January.
The DC 50 is named after one ultrarunning legend and directed by another, Ann Trason, probably the greatest female ultrarunner of all time. With over 15,000' of elevation change (half up and half down) it is moderately hilly by western trail race standards.
