Boberry was ready and waiting as YHC pulled into the Pump House Parking Lot at 0331 hours. Yes that’s right 331 AM. Boberry has been wanting to get a 50k in the books for some time now, and this was the day to do it.
The route was the detour around Maymont Park to the North Bank Trail, across the football bridge under the Robert E. Lee Bridge, with a loop around Belle Isle. Then take the Fire Trail to the Nickel Bridge, and back across to the parking lot.
Three 8 mile ish loops. Then one final one reverso. YHC only did a couple miles out and back on the last one to get his first ever Ultra, and Boberry went on to complete the final loop for just over 31 miles for his first 50k.
Glad I could be there to help push Boberry to his first 50k! And I was able to get a new PR for distance in the process!
Iron Sharpens Iron!
