Cinderella 50k Recap: Going Out On Top

After two 13.1 mile loops, so much of me wanted to stop. I was tired. I was salty and sweaty. And having to head out for an additional 5 miles did not sound like fun. Mile 26.2 of a 50k sounded like a good stopping point—I’ve done it before. Almost the exact same...
