to everyone lining up for the keys 100 this weekend… best of luck out there 🌺 it’s a spicy one
pack on the ice, keep moving when the wheels start wobbling, and if you make it to that finish line, know that it’s one of the most rewarding feelings in the world
this race will always hold such a special place in my heart
after three wins there, last year felt bittersweet knowing it was probably time for me to close that chapter, leave florida, and move to tennessee to chase some big dreams
the @keys100ultra helped shape me into the runner and person i am today…. it was my first taste in ultra
definitely having some fomo this weekend
so many incredible people work tirelessly behind the scenes to make that race happen and i’m endlessly grateful for the friendships, memories, volunteers, crew members, race staff, and miles shared over the years
i may not be there physically this year but i’ll absolutely be there in spirit and tracking along from afar
go crush it, everyone 🪄
full-time job. full-time training. zero chill. welcome to my day 🐥 ultra running is becoming one of the fastest-growing sports… BUT most of us aren’t lounging in recovery boots in between trail adventures 👉 we’re juggling full time careers and squeezing in miles before/after work and all the moments in between
i work full-time in aviation at @flytropic — and then at 5pm I trade in my heels for running shoes & put in the miles until the sun is long gone. It’s not always glamorous but it’s 1000% worth it 🏔️❤️ this is what it takes
btw we’re hiring soooo come work w/ me 🥳

READ THIS IF YOU’RE TIRED BUT STILL SHOWING UP →✨🎟️
not every day feels strong
not every run feels worth it
but the ones who keep going anyway?
they’re the ones who separate

by the way, we’ve been working on some big things in the background… changes are coming & we hear that we look good in race day red

340 Miles. 6 Runners. 1 Mission: Vegas. 🌵🏁
This week on the Dirt & Vert Podcast, we’re diving into the beautiful chaos of The Speed Project with Whitney Dancaster and Peter Hagemeyer!
The Speed Project is a 340-mile unsanctioned relay from Santa Monica to Las Vegas with "No Rules" and "No Spectators." Whitney and Peter take us inside the RV to reveal what it’s actually like to race across the desert with a team of near-strangers.
We’re talking:
🌪️ 48 MPH Headwinds: Leaning into the wind just to stay upright.
⛽ The Oasis: $98 pizzas and midnight milkshakes at desert truck stops.
🔦 Midnight Trails: Running 9-mile trail segments in the dark with nothing but a full moon and Area 51 vibes.
🌵 Cactus Crashes: Why Whitney ended up with spikes in her pants at 3:00 AM.
🎰 The Finish: Spraying champagne like F1 drivers at the Las Vegas sign.
This episode is about teamwork, resilience, and the "unhinged" side of ultra-running. 😎

take what you need 🌺👉
easing back into my first trail run after big deal at great seal 100 miler… exactly what i needed
sun on our skin, green everywhere, trails finally coming back to life, and really good company w/ the girls
the rest of this post is basically a little “take what you need” dump for anyone who needs a laugh, a reset, a reminder, or just something light today 🫶

b&w but never gray 🌺
still thinking about this past weekend… went from chasing @eltonmartin93 around the park in 20 mile loops to complete rest & walks in the sun
getting to spend time with people who feel like home, chase big goals, and remind you why you love this sport in the first place is something I’ll never take for granted
hadn’t seen @stangle & @ivistangle & mailia since the Keys100 last year - not letting that much time pass again
finally got to meet chris’ brother @mit_ocr_james who was out there snapping photos all weekend
not to mention, the time with @wanderingsilently & @brandyunderpressure beyond just race day was one of the best parts of the whole experience… watching them create in real time is honestly so inspiring you can literally see bradly light up when an idea hits him and it’s really cool to witness someone so deeply passionate about what they do
the amount of work, creativity and intention they poured into documenting this adventure is unreal… I already know the final film is going to be something special
no race recap… you’re going to have to wait for the documentary soooo go give @inkedrevenantproductions a follow so you can be there when it drops 🍿
on to the next…
sleep deprived & maybe a little dehydrated BUT feeling so alive from this weekend at big deal at great seal 🏁 honestly couldn’t have asked for a better lead up & race day performance
everything was literally on point - nutrition, shoes, training was locked in & working its magic 💌
super grateful to have gained a new running friend @eltonmartin93 🙏 we shared roughly 70 miles on the course
was going to give an update but I think we will let the documentary do the talking soooo 👉 give @wanderingsilently & @inkedrevenantproductions a follow so you don’t miss it 🎬 he has the full race report you were definitely NOT expecting lol
Nutrition: @genucan
Shoes: @rossignol
Coaching: @runfluent_fulwise
📸: coach @stangle taking me on my first time @bucees experience as we head back from the race weekend 😂 lots of snacks at this place 10/10 lol
to do list: everything
this is what the next few weeks look like → racing, creating, building, and stepping into some things i’ve been working on quietly for a while 🪐
a 100 miler that didn’t have a single finisher last, a podcast recording, new contracts i’m genuinely excited about, and a few projects that are finally coming to life 📈
not everything gets posted when it’s happening, but trust me… it’s always happening 😂
if you’ve been here, you already know
if you’re new, you picked a good time
but most importantly… thank you for your support ✨ every interaction truly allow me to keep doing what i love and share it with you 🫶 love ya guys!

what i mean when i say my hands are full 👀 lol
back in january, your girl ran 543 miles in 20 days → today i finally got my hands on my prize (a new pair of @mounttocoast H1s) and honestly, celebrating the win with a @celsiusofficial just felt right 🥤
holding them now feels like a reminder of what that block actually demanded. not just the miles in a 0.3 mile loop but the consistency to keep showing up, the discipline after long days of work, the freezing mornings, and the nights that stretched well past midnight... that stretch of time honestly felt like i was on a completely different planet 🪐
I smiled when i read “for runners who transcend distance” on the box because… yeah, that tracks
and while april looks a little different, the mindset hasn’t changed
grateful for the people who made it happen ↓ @chaburritoleague@mounttocoast@fastbreakathletics@burrito.league thank you, for the kicks
and always thankful for @stangle for keeping me ready for whatever challenge shows up next 🫶
#celsiuslivefit #celsiusambassador #burritoleague #mounttocoasth1 #ultrarunning
electrolytes aren’t optional when you’re training through summer… they’re the difference between finishing strong and falling apart
i’ve always had to be intentional with fueling especially in long efforts where your gut starts pushing back and hydration becomes a moving target
SIMPLIFYING MATTERS
fuel + electrolytes in one system means i’m not guessing, not juggling, not falling behind
9 days out from a 100 miler and this is exactly the kind of detail that adds up… the lemon lime is clean, easy, gets down when it’s hot BUT the cherry flavor is the one i keep reaching for
show up to your next race ready🥤 give em a try through the link in my bio for a big discount 👌
