Morning Ride

Beautiful day to hit trails☺️

Afternoon Ride

Morning Run

Two. Hundred. Miles.
What even is that? How do you prepare for something like this?

My first race plan got tossed in the trash before I even toed the start line. The second version? Didn’t last much longer - maybe a few hours into the course. I lost count of how many times I tried to rethink my strategy during that first day… until I finally understood: whatever I’d imagined in my head didn’t matter anymore. The trail was going to have the final word.

There was only one thing left to do - take it moment by moment. Trust my crew. And I did - Kelsey Rae, Jeff, and Terrie somehow turned every aid station into a luxury spa in the woods. I would’ve fallen apart without them. And my pacers… Carmen Whiting, Margarita Krivitski, Olga Aronov, I don’t even know how to thank them. After 74 hours out there, alone with my own thoughts for most of it, I would’ve absolutely lost my mind without them.

Something clicked when I stopped obsessing over my pace, schedule, or place in the race. When I just gave in - to the trail, the weather, the pain, the beauty of it all - I started to feel everything at full volume. The highest highs. The lowest lows. And I think that’s what these races are really about - feeling something real, raw, and impossible to fake.
