Watchung 50km Winter Ultra 2014. The other day I ran the Watchung 50km Ultramarathon. Here’s my AAR (After Action Report):. We got about 8″ of snow in Watchung the Thursday/Friday before the race so the trails had to be remarked with orange spray. I knew the trails (have run this before) so I knew the snow would be bad. I got a pair of Yaktraks to give myself a bit of traction. More on these later. The race started at 8AM and it was 2F. Two degrees Fahrenheit. My fingers were getting frostbitten ...8AM w...

Watchung UltraMarathon in 1 week | Francis Shanahan[.com]
http://francisshanahan.com/index.php/2013/watchung-ultramarathon-in-1-week
Watchung UltraMarathon in 1 week. They say running is 90% mental, the rest is in your head. I’ll test that next Saturday with a 50km(31.5 miles) run in the woods. I haven’t done much in the way of running since the Mega so I’ve decided to kick the New Year off right with the Winter Watchung ultra. It should be a death march but hopefully will kick my butt back into gear. NJ Trail Series https:/ sites.google.com/site/njtrailseries/watchung. Add your comment below, or trackback.

Megatransect (http:/ ultrahike.com) 2013 is in the books. 28 miles of insane trails spread across the mountains, rivers and rocks of Bald Eagle Creek. This year was another brilliant day with glorious weather and tonnes of eye candy. What a day! It’s so hard to capture the feeling from an event like this but I will try to hit a few points. I burst out of the bathroom and immediately joined the line running. The boulders this year were amazing. The sun had not yet burned off the fog from the valley so...
