The North Face Endurance Challenge 50K 2016 Write Up

This is my third time doing TNF50, and I am running it after two back to back marathons and crossing a big body of water 🙂

North Face 50 was my very first 50K race, and the course and stunning view have kept me coming back. However the most important reason that I love TNF50 so much  is the camaraderie! I love to wrap up an year of training and racing with running buddies who have become family over the years. We always come and share a room at the hostel, and prepare drop-bag on Friday night and cook a hearty breakfast on Sunday morning after the race. This year we had decided to upgrade our post race dinner to hotpot!  Since I had just returned from Japan and was so hooked on oden, Kiyoko had promised to cook oden for me 🙂
