HERMOSA 24 HOUR RUN - JUNE 30, 2012
Hermosa Beach California
The Hermosa 24 Hour Ultramarathon really pushes the limits on a very difficult course run on soft sand. The course is a 3.36 mile loop that starts at Hermosa Pier to Manhattan Pier and back. I had the pleasure of meeting the Guinness World Record holder for "Most Mileage Run on Sand" Patrick Sweeney. Patrick broke his record and ran 94 miles! Congrats Patrick. I finished 26.44 miles in 11:53:46.
I had so much fun with Chris...he kept me laughing...we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into...this was our first lap...
The beautiful Jay running strong!
The pretty and sexy Mieko sporting a cute Running Skirts outfit...
Rudi finished over 30 miles...
I really don't know what I was doing or thinking!!!
Second place winner Tatsunori finished 73 miles!
Patrick broke his Guinness record 94 miles!!! He made it look easy. He is amazingly awesome!
Lap 5, mile 16 and I am soooo drained...It takes a lot of energy to run/walk in the soft sand! Is it over yet?
I finished 8 laps, 26.44 miles in 11:53:46 I really did have a lot of fun and I will be back next year!
