Buffalo Run 50k

This race recap is late due to me training...  October 11 I ran the Buffalo Run 50k in Bluffton SC. This ultra fell on a Sunday which was great with my work schedule.  My training has been going okay, a few weeks before this 50k I wasn't feeling well, stomach issues and I believe my iron levels were low because I've been training hard, possibly over training. I wanted to shoot for a 50k PR at this event, but the week leading up I knew my body wasn't ready. I needed to get healthy first.  This was Tom and I first race as husband and wife, our plan was to run it together. This would also be Toms first ultra in almost a year, coming off an Achilles tear back in January. Also, I'd like to mention that Tom did this 50k with his longest run being 10 miles and not having run in almost a month due to military training, do this proves that mental ability is beyond important in ultra running. Course: 10k loop, WIDE trail, flat. Although it was pretty muddy in most sections. Race:
