Glacial Trail 50K Ultra Prep




Here's a look at a typical flat section along the Ice Age Trail near Butler Lake upon which I will be running next Sunday. In the 50K distance, the approximate elevation change will be 15,000 feet. Doesn't sound like a Wisconsin trail does it? Think again. This is glacial territory and there are many hills, most small and steep, but hills nonetheless.

Kirsten and I hiked a 5 mile section of the race over the weekend and the leaves are just starting to turn colors up high in the Maples. Conditions should be nice for the race but they are calling for cold temps. We shall continue with style, regardless of the conditions!
