2015 Psycho Wyco Run Toto Run 50k Trail Race: There’s no way I’m Writing Another Race Report About it.


Official Race Report: I ran uphill, I ran downhill. It was frozen and then it was muddy…

Ok, seriously. Considering my last post was the 2014 Psycho Wyco, I really do need to start contributing more to the blog. That is; if I can find it. For a minute it looked like a visit to the Way Back Machine would be needed.  I’ve had plenty of adventures between Psychos, I just haven’t blogged any of them. (Hmmm, if it’s not on the internet, did it really happen)?

For my 44th Ultra, I returned to the same race as the 1st and there’s a good reason for that. Bad Ben Holmes and the KC Trail Nerds have a classic on their hands. The weather, the terrain, and the late winter date all conspire to make it one of the toughest 50K’s in the "flat" space between the Appalachians & the Rockies. Throw in the best volunteers around and some great swag and I just can’t stay away (I think my entire wardrobe consists of clothes with the word “psycho” on them…kind of weird considering I work in Mental Health).

So, to avoid renaming my blog “PsychoWycoFrameofMind”, I will simply post a picture-report below. Thanks once again to Bad Ben Holmes, The KC Trail Nerds, and all of the best volunteers in the sport for making Psycho happen. Special thanks to Rick & Kristi Mayo of Mile90 photography for the pictures that you are two sentences away from enjoying (or at least viewing).

Next up, I swear on the shallow graves of the whiners scattered along the Psycho Wyco course that I will follow up with another post within one week of this race report (thinking maybe a ‘Trail of the Week’ about a seldom used trail that I’ve been hitting).

 See you on the Trails (but I probably won’t blog about it).

Picture Time!!
