TRAGNAR!

Got asked to be on a Trail Ragnar team in Aspen with one of my running ultra-heroes. We DNFed and went to bed at 1am. I drank a beer between runs and scarfed a bunch of pizza before run #2 so this was good hundo practice.

1: 4:58PM - Hot and sucky.

2: 7:35PM - Got lucky with a fantastic sunset on Snowmass Rim and bombed the downhill like a crazy person.

3: 11:12PM - Another Sucky. I kept getting scared by deer and I really, really had to p@@p

Missed my sub-3 again bargghhhhhhh #nemesisrace

Honestly felt horrible for the last few weeks and again wanted to bail on this race. Felt horrible on the climb and even worse down Smuggler's. Compared to last year I was stronger climbing the first few miles, much slower and awful feely on the big climb up Black, got slowed down on the ridge again by slow ridge peeps, much slower on the descent from Smuggler's, but more steady and a little faster on the 6 miles down City Creek. Overall ended up 20 seconds fast than last year which is a shocker and something I should be proud of I guess.

Seriusly hadn't run much leading up to the race because of IT band and SI wonk! If I could only train leading up to this race.... hrmphhh! Next year!!!

More Chamonix!

Had planned on taking the ski lift down so after a baguette and cheese and a tiny beer I went to the ticket counter and saw that the ticket seller was on siesta. The sign said please buy ticket in Chamonix which is 3000+ feet below wtf? I really didn't want to go down and destroy the progress I'm making on my itband, but I didn't want to wait 2 hours because this is my only day in Chamonix and there are many mini cakes to eat! If this didn't destroy me for the Cortina Trail I should be good to go!

Cortina Trail Race Report.

 

This photo sums up my entire European adventure! The kindness of absolute strangers. I met this man when I caught the giggles on the 2nd to last climb of the #cortinatrail2016 we have to go up what?!? I couldn't stop laughing and then I'm pretty sure he called me looney, but also that I am very strong. We had an entire conversation in different languages. We leapfrogged the last 10 miles and then when I was 400 meters from the finish he ran up from behind me, grabbed my hand, and made me sprint to the finish the whole time I'm laughing and screaming I'm going to die. I obviously was so confused at the finish that I smiled at the wrong camera and I never did get all that sunscreen rubbed in and oh then I ate meat, but it was very thinly shaved! #lostintranslation
