Thank You Volunteers
I would like to thank the aid station volunteers. All of them were super helpful and friendly. I probably would have died of thirst without them. This year’s Noble Canyon 50K was hot. I don’t think it was actually 100 degrees, but it felt like it in some parts of the course. The official temp that I found at Mt. Laguna was 77 degrees which it might have been at the top – but it was oven hot in the lower canyons.
I train by myself all the time without the help of “aid stations.” I have to carry everything I want to eat and drink. I can carry up to 1.09 gallons of fluids with my Camelback Mule (100oz) and REI 2 bottle pack (40 oz). Usually that is enough to make 20 miles or so.
During the Noble Canyon 50K this year, I drank approximately 3.2 gallons. Almost 3 times what I normally carry. Thank you volunteers for standing by with the life saving fluids. I came into each aid station and asked for my bottles to be refilled with water and Gatorade. The volunteers filled them while I grazed on the other goodies. I had M&Ms, Fritos, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Bananas, boiled potatoes, various gels, peanuts and chips. I could not have carried all that stuff, and the promise of more stuff at the next station really kept me going when times were tough.
Thank you very much
