FKT: Ben Brown - Snoqualmie Valley Trail (WA) - 2022-03-20

This was my second time racing the route, which I decided to do after loosing the overall FKT. I was able to drop my previous time by about 5 minutes and get a 50k PR in the process! Yippee! As a 40-year-old runner this was a huge win! Thanks to Dave Kwiatkowski for posting a stout time to aim for.

I ran the route unsupported this time which ended up helping me stay true to my optimal perceived effort. The weather was about 40 degrees and cloudy–which was perfect. Thanks to my smiling family for the finish line reception and to Patrick Reagan for the perfect training block prescriptions.
