Hidden gem of a race - loved it. Beautiful and epic course with lots of interesting challenges…family-run-race… camped at the start line with many other racers and made so many new friends. And yes…my first OA win on a 100 mile trail!

Miles 1-25: Started in 6th place, it was quite technical and I turned my ankle a couple times, found myself 15 minutes behind my goal times, doubts creeping into my head, just went with the flow and focused on fueling. 

Miles 25-60: Quickly worked my way  up to 2nd place. By around mile 50 I had caught the first runner and we went back and forth. Justin was running a little faster, I was getting a few minutes back at each aid station transition. Got to the top of brutal Burney Mountain climb about 60 seconds ahead, and left the aid station asap. 

Miles 60-103: Discovered that it’s pretty stressful running out front, everyone chasing you.. never knowing if/when someone is closing in. But I felt confident…ran hard and felt great all the way to mile 95. In and out of the aid stations fast, 100 cals every 20 minutes like clockwork, running almost everything.  I got lost at mile 85ish which cut into my lead and made me paranoid, also blew up a bit over the last 8 miles, but luckily held it together. Justin finished 17 minutes behind and 3rd/4th places a few min behind him…fortunately today was my day. It was fun. Can't run like the pros but always thankful for what my body can do.
