Superior Spring Races 50k 26โ. Chip time 4:38:06, 5th OA, and a course PR!
Had two main goals for this was one of my A races coming into this season! 1) shave some time off โ 2) improve on placement โ
It was hot and heavy until it wasnโt. Things were clicking really fast to start but I made two crucial mistakes. First off not having enough of my normal race day nutrition going into the event and having to ration it for the back half of the race ๐. Secondly, pushing too hard up Carlton peak and descending it too quickly thus toasting my legs.
At mile 23 I started to implode. Running uphill wasnโt an option and was left to power hiking and walking. The quads and adductors started to cramp with every step (bad fueling) and eventually went into damage control mode. Being strategic with what nutrition I had left in the last stretch, I had enough legs to really move on the last descent and to the finish. I was also motivated because I knew @jake_rossman was barreling down behind me and coming in hot. Sure enough he was a short 2 minutes behind me at the finish!
Lessons learned were be better at fueling and be patient during the race!
Solid work to my coach @tylerofthenorth on a 2nd overall finish. I know it wasnโt the day you wanted but it was a hard earned result nonetheless that will help you for the 100 this fall!
Thanks to @rocksteadyrunning and all the volunteers! The Superior Races are truly fantastic and unique and everyone should run at least one of the events!
Lastly but not least thank you to my rock and crew chief @_hannahwessel for being out there supporting me and handing this dweeb some water bottles!
๐ธ credits to the talented @stinosstudio for capturing these race day moments!

Desert ๐ 50k moments! A lot more smiles this time around compared to last year, even with the insane winds and pissing rain on top of the mesa! Shout out to all the other runners and volunteers! It was fun to put together a performance I knew I was capable of even though the end result surprised me a bit! 4:35:44, 19/422. Excited to see what the rest of the season holds! #eyesnorth

I had no expectations coming into this one. Races at altitude havenโt gone the way Iโve wanted them to. Until now. I figured going into this one 6 hours would be been a stellar day. The first 15 miles were sluggish. Tons of climbing and the legs were dead. The back 15 miles were a completely different story. Legs came alive with the help of some pickle juice and a bit of downhill. Coming in under 6 hours was truly a shock to myself.
Even better than the result, was the vast fields of purple wildflowers in the high country. Truly magnificent!
This course was a little bit of pain and a lot a bit of pleasure. Thank you TRTER and all the volunteers for an amazing event with a class after race scene. I will be back! If anyone has the chance to run a TRTER race I highly recommend you take it!
