Comments:

This run was mostly a training run in preperation for my first attempt at 100 miles at the end of August. I decided to run continuously through lap 7 in order to get my legs tired and then I wanted to start a run/walk strategy and see how long it would take for my legs to start coming back.I expected it would take all of lap 8 and 9 but you can see they were already coming back at lap 9 and I could actually feel them coming back toward the latter half of lap 8.
What would you do differently?:

nothing. The run was actually a 50K PR for me.

Warm down:

I took a shower and went to sleep!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nothing

Event comments:

I'm not sure I would travel a long way to do this race unless there was an important reason you needed a midnight long run in humid conditions, which I did. If you live anywhere near the event though it is well worth the trip.
