Cruel Jewel 50 miles Ultra Marathon documentary - my last race before the big one! I was signed up for Cruel Jewel 100 miles ultra marathon, but decided to dial it down to give more time to heal. Curious about the trail running gear I use and recommend: check out this link linktr.ee/runningwithsimon But Ultra Trail Running is never easy, and you can never take a race for granted! Even if I was "just running 50 miles", I knew it would be a challenge! This race covers multiple mountains in the Georgian mountains. East Coast / Beast Coast trail hit different, with steep elevation gain / drop. Over 58 miles (yes, the race is officially closer to 100k than actually 50 miles, even according to the race director), you climb 17k feet of gain! That's massive - to put things in perspective, that's about as much as you climb during Leadville 100 miles. So needless to say, it was a good workout! But to top it off, the climate there is harsh. Humid heat - the kind that you get soaking wet and just can't cool off. Unless of course, it starts pouring! Which, well, spoiler alert, it did. For hours - it was torrential. The trail turned to small rivers, and eventually just plain old mud. It became fairly treacherous and I was glad to have my pole! I'm sure I could have done the 100 miles, but I think I made the right decision. I'll certainly want to come back, maybe next year, to do the 100 miles, being one of the hardest out there. Moreover, you get a belt for the 50, and the buckle for the 100! Alright, I HAVE to come back...
