Earth Day 50K (5:28:17)

My 3rd ED 50k at Crystal Lake went well.  I wanted to hammer down the finish time under 5 hours, but soon I realize that the course was much harder than I remembered.  I think the steep downhill gave damages on the body that 3rd-6th loops were no longer my race.  I picked the altra lone peak which I had been training with, but guess my footstep (considering the shoe weight on heavy side) was not light enough that I fell down two times badly and time to time I was not sure whether I could finish the race which I did. Comparing to last year, I ran about 30 minutes faster, but close to my first ED 50k so my verdict for this race is reasonable.

To my surprise, I once again won the age group (3rd place).
