Last race of the year is in the books. Thank you Mike Melton for organizing an awesome event, for the love of the sport. It was an incredible event, which for some reason I decided I wanted to be my 100 mile PR race. Cant say enough about all the volunteers and spectators who showed up to cheer for the runners like Bambi Annabelle and Danielle M. Zemola, It was amazing to have so much support every lap. Though I spent most of the race doing my own thing, I talked to many amazing runners along the way. Even the other crews would cheer for the runners as they made their way down the road & back to the trail. Bren Tompkins, you & your bacon were amazing. Congratulations to Sara Maltby and Sung Ho Choi for their amazing finishes. Thank you Brandi Acree for the laps together. You were strong all day girl! Last but certainly not least, thank you to my awesome crew/pacer this weekend, Kyle Michael Sargent, I couldnt have done it without you buddy! You kept my water bottles full and updated social media and even ran some laps with me, in the early morning darkness. Love you!! Couple of things I learned this weekend: #1 dont ask the guy with 2 of the top 3 (now 3 of top 4) finish times at a particular race if it is runnable. Of course he will say it is. #2 While running fast (relative to your own ability) can be fun, doing it for 100 miles is freaking hard. I might be ready to go back to my old plan of beer breaks and am I ahead of the cut-off days.
