Montana de Ore trail 50k was run at Montana de Ore State park located in Los Osos, California. The park is six miles southwest of the beautiful Morro Bay. Montana de Ore features seven miles of shoreline, rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, coastal plains, streams, canyons, hills, lots of hills, and a 1,347 foot climb to Valencia Peak summit. The weather was nice and cool. I finished 5 minutes longer than last year. 8:45
Michelle and Rachel are running their first trail race. At first they were going to sign up for the 8K but Michelle decided on a 12k. Rachel has a beautiful 5 month old baby girl named Brielle. Excellent way to get in shape ladies!
Jesse has run many trail marathons and this is his first 50K. Brianna has not run anything. This is her first race ever. What a challenge Brianna! Good luck!
I was having a good race with no sleep.
