Hell yeah, I had a perfect day for 4th OA.  Went out in 4th place with Coco.  He said our first two mile splits were 6:07 and 12:30, but they felt controlled (Ryan Smith probably went out in 5:30).  Dropped Cordis at mile 4, then proceeded to run by myself the rest of the day.  Never passed anybody and never got passed.  I felt my best of the day on the final climb.  Didn't suffer in the heat I guess.  Pretty stoked.  Basically just ate watermelon and oranges and water for nutrition/hydration, which worked well (poop break was v quick at mile 22).  Super fun hanging with RMR crew, etc. at the finish!  I drank probably a liter of coke afterword.

Despite the fact that this is only my second long trail race, I feel like this is my bread and butter.  I just seem to do best (relative to the competition) at these 50km type efforts.  Short enough for my "leg speed" to help and long enough that my lack of leg speed doesn't hinder me!

CONGRATS TO ALL THE OTHER SUPER STUDS WHO CRUSHED IT

Also, ankle was a non issue
