Ran the Leadville Silver Rush 50 This Weekend

My first race of any kind since I ran track in high school. Felt really good for most of the race, threw up around mile 21 because I was still wearing long sleeves. Felt better after I dropped to a t-shirt and held it together until about the last half-mile of climbing at around 34.5. Threw up there and at the very top at mile 35, but I could run and felt fine right after I did. My legs and lungs still felt like I should be running the long descent to the finish, so I did until I threw up twice more, then I power hiked with some short jogging stretches until the end. I stopped to dry heave with a quarter-mile left, then jogged to the finish once I'd convinced my stomach it was empty. Finished in 11:17, and it was pretty fun overall.
