The Tram Road from about 10 miles away. Notice the airplane in the foreground.
Am I overthinking this 50 mile thing? I mean, at this point, there's nothing I can do but just sack up and get it done. Spending any mental energy thinking or worrying about it is going to do me no good..
Well, I think that is obvious. Here's a better question - is there anyway at this point to avoid spending mental energy and worrying about it?
Oh, by the way -
Fred's mountain ("Most difficult" part of the course, will climb it twice in the 50-miler):
1810 ft of gain in 2.7 miles - 670 feet of gain per mile
And the tram road in Palm Springs (I have done it twice, and once under an hour):
2643 ft of gain in 3.7 miles - 714 feet of gain per mile
The comparison really helps me not freak out so much. Cuz freaking out is just not going to do me any good.
