Twin Peaks 50/50 Ultramarathon
Last weekend I volunteered at the Twin Peaks Ultramarathon. The race is practically in my backyard, taking place in the Cleveland National Forest around Saddleback Mountain. The course is scenic but brutal.

After a thorough soaking Friday and Saturday the clouds parted in Southern California making Sunday a beautiful day.

May 3 was a glorious day for a race but, as it turned out, my first marathon was a race simply to finish, and not a race against the clock.
