"Are you sure you are going?"
So all week my wife asked me this question concerning running a 50k UltraMarathon in sub-zero weather.
So yes, I'm done. I think I saw a sign say 4 degrees on the way there. I'm sure it was some kind of sub-zero weather.
So my goal was to finish, pretty tired right now. Around 75 crazy people braved the weather at the starting line at 7:30 am. I think about 35 to 40 people braved the elements and finished the entire 50k (31 miles) on a snow packed trail.
Yes, I was one of the 35 to 40 people. Not the greatest race time. Longer than I expected, but would have not wished to be anywhere else. (okay in a warm bed at some points during the race)
So after I unfreeze my brain, I will post my 50k ultra trail report. So for know I leave you this.

MAN. You are one Iron Bubba. GET WARM now, my semi-crazy friend! :) Congrats on the finish--I can only imagine the temps! Brrrrrrr!
Way to get it done!
I guess if nothing else, those cold temps give you motivation to keep moving out there - cuz it's too cold once you stop. :)
I'm looking forward to the race report.
I'm glad you're ok. We were thinking about you this morning. You ROCK!!!
Oh my! I was thinking of you - it hurt to breathe outside yesterday, man! You are tough. Now thaw and get typing. :)
Wow! Congratulations! Can't wait to hear the race report.
Yes! I love that Yoda quote. Congratulations on finishing the Ultra - you are a machine!!
