Cubihatcha Training Run
I was really hoping this would be a successful 50K. I felt like I needed to prove to Pravin (my husband) and myself that I was progressing in my running. I decided to try to tackle the Cubihatcha Challenge, four, eight-mile loops around the reservoir at the Cubihatcha Outdoor Center in Locust Grove, GA. This was a race run pre-pandemic by Revolution Running, and I was able to find the historic leaderboard on the Ultrarunner Magazine Website. I even complied the entire 3 year history of finish times, and did the computing to find the mean, which gave me a time goal for this challenge. Well, the short version is this run got demoted to a "Training Run" rather than a successful "Challenge", but it was still a 24 mile training run with useful feedback for my training moving forward. More specifically, it gives me an idea of where I need to go before I reach the Mental Health Ultra 50K coming up in November. So, the Cubihatcha training run. I started late, at about 8:31...
