#28. 1st C2C Labour day Ultra 50k – 2012 [Velacherry – GST Road – Chengalpatu]


Labour Day 50K (from Velachery to Chengalpat)

Happy Labour Day to All….!
I went to sleep before I think what I do for Labour Day. Suddenly, I remember my dream run is from Velachery to Chengalpat (50K). That’s right. Do it tomorrow and I create a plan.

Plan:
Wakeup at 1:30am
Speed 7~8 kph (Slow jog with a walk)
Start at 2:00am
Finished at before 10am
Time 7~8 hours
Back to room by the Train.

I wake up at 1:30am and I am ready to run, I take 1.5L water, Mobile (Camera), Gel 1 pack, Towel, Sunglass and cash.

I start running from Velachery room at 2:15am, a lot of the dogs follow me I carefully walk and escape from the dogs and I continue the run. I concert my rhythm of the running and I did not push up my speed and I continually maintained an average speed 7~7.5 kph.

Every 15 minutes I drink water up to 15ml, 2 cups coffee (50ml), 15g Chocolate, Tender count 3 numbers, and Half litre Salt Leman water. The course was very noise population (Vehicles unwanted making horn sounds). Every step and seconds I enjoy the run… last 2 hours I feel very tough very hot weather and warmer.

I did a slow jog and walk and I successfully completed my highest distance the 50k at 07:02:31 hours. My previous highest distance was 48k (1st Shahid ECR 50k Ultra - 2010) at 05:48 hours

I back to Guindy by the train and walk to the room. I very happily and safely come to a room.
