Next Saturday May 30th is Infinitus! The event is put on by the Endurance Society and has distances from 8k to 888k, and has a 48 hour and 72 hour race. I will be participating in the 88k, or about 54.5 miles. The race is sure to be hilly and on tough Vermont trails. Many are snowmobile trails and some of the climbs are sure to be steep. It will not be a fast race, so it will be important to take my time at the beginning. The aid stations are pretty spread out and I will really only be able to resupply with my own nutrition at miles 30 and 40. In between there are limited aid stations, so I will be carrying a lot of Nuun tabs to hydrate effectively, especially the first 30 miles. Hillary will be running Girls on the Run with her group from Fair Haven in Rutland in the morning, so hopefully I will see her around mile 30. I hope to make the top three in this race, but I will certainly not be out front at the start. The plan is to take it at a comfortable speed for the first 25 miles, refuel at 30, and then see what I can do. Either way it will be a long day, 12 hours, 15??? tough to say!
