Nice recap of the event! I did it last year and loved it, and was disappointed that I couldn't do it this year because I was out of town. I was nowhere near 50 minutes though...last year I did 1:17 or something. :)
Well, Autumn Ray is a machine (and has a pretty nice website to boot)! She stated there that she was going out to set the event course record. (Not sure if she did or not.) I glanced for your result, but remembered it wasn't in your events list.
