I was asking myself the same thing the morning of the race. This was my first 50 miler and I was running with some of the best runners in the world, even Barefoot Ted was th ere, you may recognize his name from the book Born to Run. I had studied the layo ut and elevation changes of the race diligently.. hadnt thought about it being pit ch black during those first 5 miles of straight up! There were certainly more hi lls than I had remembered, but the beautiful coves, the wild buffalo, and the gr

eat support from the team and aid stations made up for it. At the 28 mile mark, my feet were very swollen ( I had been combating plantar fasciitis for some time now ). One of the aid station volunteers sprayed my shoes down with a cooling a gent that felt awesome and certainly made the difference in getting me back on t he road. As I was running along side the ocean I thought several times about how good it was going to feel when I soaked my aching feet in the cold ocean at the end of the race. The last bit of race was straight down for 6 miles. I broke a brutal 7 minute pace completing the race strong. The torture I had just put my b ody through was deadened only slightly by the cold water and my adrenaline rush. My body became overrun with inflammation. In training, the inflammation was the re, but I had been controlling it well with a natural anti inflammatory suppleme nt. Now I was planning on hitting it hard with Xocais high anti-oxidant, high pol yphenol, anti-inflammatory chocolate shake. Cocoa in its natural form combined w ith chia and other powerful ingredients has made Xocais shake an essential part o f my training and recovery.
