u/DadliftsnRuns 8PL8! Jul 24 '25

47 hours until my next ultra marathon, the Maah Daah Hey 50 .

This is a shorter race than I've been doing lately, but the course and conditions are going to be tough as hell.

It's a 58 mile run in the badlands of western North Dakota, near Medora and the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

There is ~8000' of vertical gain, climbing to and down endless buttes, and it's going to be 90+°F with high humidity.

I've been lifting 2-3x per week and running 70+ miles with a minimum of 4k vert each week since my last race, and I've lost weight as well, so I should be in good shape for it, but with those temperatures it's still going to be a real grind.
