IRF: No major races this past weekend, but Justin still brings all the results from the trail and ultramarathon scene.
Hot takes:
-Bev Abbs winning Lake Chabot outright. She’d 51 and keeps getting tougher.
-Not mentioned, but Zach Ornelas made a run for Jim Walmsley’s 50M record at Tunnel Hill but DNFed with stomach issues at mile 41 in 4:20 elapsed. He’ll try again soon.
-Upchuck 50k sounds interesting. Only two aid stations?
