Niagara Falls 50km ULTRA was a beautiful and scenic race yesterday that got tougher and tougher as the morning heated up. 

I started strong and was able to keep my lead until the end, finishing 1st overall in 3:37:48 and running the 2nd fastest 50 km time this year in Canada under official ACU rules.

I was struggling between aid stations after 40 km trying to fill up on liquids again. At 47 km I finally reached the point of total dehydration and not much left in me anymore, I had to dig deep to finish off the last 3 km.

A big learning experience for me yesterday: Taking fluids at every aid station wasn't enough. Good thing I stopped on the way home and bought handheld water bottles I will be using next time if it is that warm and some gels to replenish on the way.

Glad to be back at it, a good feeling :)
This was my first race in Canada and I loved it. 

Looking forward to this year's running season.
