Whad'ya know? I can still finish a race. Decided to go ahead and run the full 50K Double Chubb (which is what I signed up for, but I had considered dropping down to the single on account of the fact that I've been running so little). The race was going pretty much as I expected at halfway (as in, I was getting my ass kicked). Then, it got hot. That turned out to be a game changer. I ended up with the fastest second lap split to snag third overall and first 50+.
Just goes to show that ultrarunning is more about your brain than your body. I can't recall too many times when I was so focused in a long race. Full writeup next Saturday.
