I had a pretty good day at the Lake Michigan 50K in Cudahy, WI, just south of Milwaukee. My time was 4:56:35. I was 9th overall and 1st in the 60-69 age group. It was run together with a marathon, half-marathon, and a 20 mile fun run with staggered times so there was always people around. The course was about 22 miles of bike path, about 1 mile of road and about 8 miles of single track with much of the course right along Lake Michigan. It gave us runners some beautiful views out over the lake, especially in the early morning. Temperatures were pretty good with a start of about 62 degrees up to about 75 with medium humidity. It was a double out and back both to the south and to the north of our start/finish point. All in all, a very enjoyable event.
Recovery over the next two days has been great. Got in 10 miles the day after and another 9 today. And the legs are feeling pretty good (9:30 to 10 minute miles).
