Hagg Mud 50K: One of the Muddiest Ever
Steve Walters shares his experience at the 13th Hagg Mud 50k, noting it was one of the muddiest races he has attended. He encountered challenging sections of sucking mud, particularly on the second loop. Adjusting his expectations, he took a slow and careful pace due to his limited recent trail running and a lack of confidence. Despite the tough conditions, he finished without falling, celebrating this as a personal victory in his 227th ultra marathon and 586th overall marathon/ultra.
