Good evening, Incline Club!
Feedbag Sunday!
Last year, we did a mini-feedbag on the first Sunday of the month. We’ll start that again this week and decide at the run how often we want to continue this tradition (once or twice a month?)
This Sunday, December 16, if your first name starts with “A” through “N” please bring enough food and drink for you and 3 other people. We will once again stick the food in the back of a car and have at it after the run. As a reminder by food, I mean if you like a banana and a Gatorade after your run then bring 4 bananas and 4 Gatorades etc. Anything goes!

Incline Club Birth Announcements?
Seems that we might have a couple of new Incline Club members of the small, sweet riding-in-the-Baby-Jogger type. :*) Birth announcements are always welcome so please send ‘em in!
Train hard and train smart!

“R” REPORTS:
***********************************************
Sunmart 50 — Huntsville TX — 12/08/07
Anita Bower reports:
Distance: 50 miles
Goal: sub 8:30 hours
Results: 8:58: 36 4th American female 8th or 9th overall
General Summary:
I ran this last year to escape the endless barrage of Colorado weekend winter storms. This year turned out to be no excpetion. However, I knew I would have to adjust my goal of going under 8 and a half hours when I stepped outside on Saturday morning with 80% humidity combined with 82 degrees.
Things Done Right:
Managed the impossible weather conditions well. Used my usual fueling and electrolyte routine of water and e-caps only I took more of them per hours and ate lots of salty potatoes. No cramping or stomach issues. Kept solid foods to a minimum with such difficult running conditions. Used my “go out like an idiot and pay for it later” strategy my first loop figuring things were going to be slow towards the middle and end no matter what with the high humidity and heat so I might as well run when I could. All this did seem to pay off later and despite not even coming close to breaking 8 1/2 hours I was able to pass a lot of people on the last two loops who were much faster than me last year. I also took my “ultra-crack” earlier than normal(caffeine can cause excessive dehydration if you aren’t careful) figuring I would get dehydrated no matter how hard I tried to prevent it ( who feels like hydrating and fueling with less than 13 miles to go on a 50..you just want to get it over with!)
Things Done Wrong:
Haven’t been keeping up with speed workouts. My legs felt so heavy and sluggish although the high humidity probably didn’t help. Need to get back to the track and do hill repeats.
Any Other Stuff:
Very well organized and now it is a certified I.A.U course. (International Association of Ultrarunners) Lots of roots...a lot of this course uses the Rocky Raccoon 100 course so if any ICers are planning on running that in Feb. get a really good headlamp for night running. Those roots bite at night!

12/9/2007 Sun: What started out as a cold 12 degree day warmed up to 13 degrees by the end of the run. As such, the group was a little smaller today with only 57 braving the winterfest. But those that showed got in a great run while those that did not have something to think about come race day...
