In KC – Natalee takes 2nd at Psycho Wyco 50K in a mudfest

G20’s Natalee Swan takes 2nd at the Psycho Wyco 50K today in Kansas – ~6:17 hrs (photo after cleaning up)

In Kansas – Psycho Wyco 50K – With trail conditions “less than ideal” after a night of rain and snow melt, G20’s Natalee Swan (Iowa City, IA) held her own today and battled to a 2nd place finish in 6:17 & change.  The brutal conditions added over an hour to everyone’s expected finish times requiring much more effort than planned.  Natalee said she worked into the 2nd spot within the first 10 miles and never gave up distance to those behind her for the next 21.  Coming up next for Ms. Swan will be The Canyons 100K in late April out in California to secure her WS100 qual for 2018.

The course conditions were less than ideal today in Kansas.
Extra traction screwed in before the start. – 13 screws – Natalee says, “….and 13 blisters afterward”
