All Fogged Up At the Marin Ultra Challenge 50K

Posted on March 10, 2018 by kowsik

The suspense was killing me. In the two weeks preceding the Marin Ultra Challenge 50K, the weather went from all clear, maybe rain, scattered thunderstorms, torrential rain and finally just Karl the Fog. Even that morning, I didn’t trust the … Continue reading →

Much Ridge-ness At the Brutiful Vista Verde 50K

Posted on December 3, 2017 by kowsik

My last ultra for the year, the inaugural Vista Verde 50K by Robert Rhodes had all the vistas and amazing amounts of verde too. And quite a brutiful course too with short, steep rolling climbs that never seem to let … Continue reading →

Tempur-Pedic Run At the Woodside 50K

Posted on November 21, 2017 by kowsik

That’s what Greg Lanctot (RD) told us during the pre-race briefing while we stood around warming ourselves with the rising sun. And boy was he right. Everything in Woodside felt lush, green & vibrant and the trails were bouncy, but … Continue reading →

Out Of Gas At The Dick Collins 50M

Posted on October 10, 2017 by kowsik

TL;DR, I DNF’d. I ran the Dick Collins 50M in 2015 in what turned out be flawless day. Not so much this year. The long-running east bay ultra was getting canned. However, huge kudos to Adam from Scena Performance for reviving … Continue reading →

Headlands 50M – All Day Party with Karl The Fog

Posted on September 10, 2017 by kowsik

By the time I looked at Headlands 50M, the 50-miler was sold out. I then registered for the Marathon in the morning and the Night Sweats Marathon in the evening, but Greg Lanctot was kind enough to add me to … Continue reading →

Posted on July 24, 2017 by kowsik

As I write this the day after my first San Francisco Double Marathon (a charity run), I’m still so high with the endorphins and adrenaline. And incredibly stoked to pace my buddy Yadhu who managed a sub-5:00 on his first … Continue reading →

Posted on June 21, 2017 by kowsik

This would be third year in a row, running Double Dipsea. Here are my 2015 and 2016 race reports and pictures. I absolutely love the vibe and camaraderie in this race, especially because of the out & back and the … Continue reading →

Going Gel-Less At The 2017 Quicksilver 50K

Posted on May 15, 2017 by kowsik

I ran the Quicksilver 100K last year and had a fantastic time. With NUT 100K scheduled for the next month (but eventually got rescheduled to August), I decided to sign up for the Quicksilver 50K instead. It was absolutely delish weather with … Continue reading →

Warm, Meditative Run at the American River 50M

Posted on April 2, 2017 by kowsik

I ran the American River 50M two years ago and IIRC, it was my 2nd 50miler ever. First one was Lake Sonoma the year before that. Feels like I’ve come a long way in the last couple of years getting … Continue reading →

Posted on March 21, 2017 by kowsik

I ran the (inaugural?) Whiskey Hill 10K a few years ago and this race has grown quite a bit over the last few years (with different distances now too!). With all of the recent rain and the trail closures, Run for … Continue reading →
