The waffles worked! I managed to finish 50 miles with the help of 7 Belgian waffles and a wonderful girlfriend driving around to different roads to give me water.

Barely made it to the top of Mt Diablo, saw my first two rattlesnakes...and almost stepped on both, and nearly suffocated running through a swarm of gnats. All in all pretty exciting for my first 50k!

Managed to survive my first 50 miler. I don't know how you 100+ mile runners can survive, but I'll be signing up for more 50's in the future.

I've discovered that waffles are my preferred food source for trail runs. So here's what I'll be eating during my 50 miler tomorrow 😂
