9th Quicksilver 100k 2017

my favorite local race with lots of elevation gain and fantastic views, I never get tired of getting back to this race, very well organized by QRC and John Brooks.

Due to trail work around bald mountain sections trail was diverted to kennedy trail which added about 1000ft extra, made the finish much sweeter.

I started struggling pretty early on in this race, maybe due to too much ensure consumption and tummy took a toll with many unplanned breaks. Eventually after avoiding ensure for rest of the race, my tummy settled around mile 40 and I had a pretty decent 20 miles of running  chatting with Pavan and many other fellow runners.

Eventually finished in 14:45hrs and was thrilled to see my folks at finish.

Looking forward to 10th running in 2018.
