2.5 warm up. 4 mile tempo at 7:00. first one in a while so kept it short and sweet. Felt pretty good- legs were a little heavy at first and there were some icy and slushy patches, but I didn't go down so that's a win!

This was just a mess of a race for me all around.... I ran an extra 1.5 miles (2nd year running the wrong out and back route...AHHH)

Didn't eat much before the race- couple bites of a granola bar. Started in the dark with the 50kers- didn't even think about running in the dark, luckily I only had to run half blind for about 10 minutes before the sun came up.

Legs felt fine but energy was low. Took B12 before the race and had 2 caffeine gels so that helped a little. stomach was uneasy the entire race. Ran 1st/2nd with the lead guy.

25kers started 2 hours after me. I think the times for the 25kers was messed up or I ran more than 1.5 miles more than them. My time was 4 minutes faster than last year, but I think I ran about 0.50 miles more last year. But compared to the other 25kers my time was slow. I still managed to come in 2nd woman, but my overall time was off.

Frustrating, but just have to redeem myself in the next race...

HOT out today- race started at 75F!!! 21.3 miles with 5,100 ft elevation gain (and loss)

I have run this course in hot weather and know how brutal the last 6 miles baking in the sun are.

 

Started off conservative to save some for the last 10k. Hot and suffereing the first few miles then finally relaxed and sucked it up. Did well on my refueling- only drank anout 70 oz (one pack full) of water. Took 2 GUs and had some oranges and boiled potatoes at the first aid station. Forced them down... Killed the uphill Scout Mountain (5 miles uphill). Tweaked my ankle at the top going over a snow patch and was worried about it for the descent, but I focused on staying on my toes to protect it. Also really focused on increasing my turnover for the 4 miles downhill and it think it really helped save my quads.

Was in second place going into the second (and last) aid station at mile 15.2 by about 2 minutes.  The girl passed me about a mile in and I could tell she would be suffering for the last 10k and I could make my move there.

I caught her about half a mile out of the aid station. She stayed on my hip for another half mile, then she faded and I really dug in. the last 10k is an uphill winding through a mowed down path through the brush. It is hot (85F) with no protection from the sun and can take people out. I ran where I could and power walked in a few places... flew down the last 2 miles in about MP (7:00). Ended up setting a new course record by about 3 minutes (I set it last year) and I have no idea how I pulled that off....

Now for a few days of recovery...

IF Half. I was hoping for a PR on this fast course.

One of the buses didn't show to shuttle people to the starting line and of course I was one of those people. Waited for about 45 minutes for another bus to get there, got to the starting line 10 minutes after the race was supposed to start.... had about 7 minutes to warm-up and get a bathroom break in and then we were off. A couple of fast girls were there as well- one who beat me at this race last year and I have been wanting to redeem myself.

First 1.5 miles is downhill, about 0.75 mile flat with a hill and then another 2.5 miles downhill. I run downhills conservatively only about 5-10 seconds faster than my flat pace. People just bob downhill and I catch most of them in the first half mile on the flats.

6 girls went out pretty fast and I let them go. Caught 3 when we came to the first flat stretch and then caught 2 more rigth off of the last downhill. My rival had about 3 minutes on me off of the hills. I wasn't sure if I would be able to catch her, but I just put my head down and chugged away.

I could tell I was gaining some ground on her- I was maintaining a 6:40 pace and felt good.  At mile 10 I was about 45 seconds behind her- support car was keeping tabs on me letting her know where I was.

We came through the park and I had closed in a few more seconds. With a mile left I was about 15  seconds behind. I wanted to surge, but I knew I needed to wait another half mile and just keep my pace steady.  I was on her heels at 400 m to go and made my move. I passed her and we both sprinted to the finish for the last 200m. It was a grueling 200m and the fastest I have probably ever gone at the end of  a half- I just focused on my form and my arms and was able to pull off a 4 second win! I joke that I out leaned her :)

It was a good race and nice to have someone to really push me, especially at the end.

Ended up with a PR, but I was hoping for about 30 seconds faster....oh well- my goal for next year!

Not sure, but it may be a CR or really close....

Not too chilly out

Felt good going into the race and my legs felt strong, but for some reason I just couldn't hit 6:40s. First 3-4 mile were 6:40s then dropped to 6:50-7:00 and couldn't shift back down. Don't know why- legs felt good, wasn't tired, last race 3 weeks ago I felt really good...

There was a slight climb all the way to the Village finish line, but nothing big.  My dad was my support crew since they are a cupless event and I didn't feel like stopping every 2 miles or carrying water.

I ended up 1st female OA and 3rd OA (by about 30 seconds), but my time was just so slooooowwwww. Oh well, thinking about the full there next year....

Great job! I was there for a wedding in Wilson that day and saw the cones after the race. I did my 10 in Driggs Saturday morning and the altitude got to me, even though it's not THAT much higher than other areas. I wonder if that's the same for you? Where you're thinking of doing the full next year, my thought was "I'll never do a full at 6100 feet elevation." :)

Fun Womens Race/Run with the Boise Betties.

Ran the long trail run yesterday so wasn't expecting much. Ran better than I thought i would and didn't push it so that was nice. Ran the first part of the course to warm up, which saved my bacon or I would have been lost... different color arrows going every direction...

As soon as I finished I jumped in the truck and booked it to soccer. My U8 team won!!! and so did the U5s! Good day!

I was hobbling by mile 2 and almost in tears when I got back to the office- my foot was balled up and really painful. I rolled it, iced it and rolled it again.

decided to throw on some snowshoes for a workout. Ended up running 4 miles with them in nice powder. Felt pretty good on my foot- still tender, but didn't have to change my gait and was able to be outside and heart rate up!

2 loops on the cc course in my snowshoes. good way to redline the whole run. Foot felt ok, but ran 1 mile without them and my gaite was all messed up. Not sure if my legs were just adjusting to being out of snowshoes or the snowy path, but it was not as good as I was hoping for....
