Honolulu Marathon 2025
Official time 2:58:58
67th Overall 10th Age Group
6:46 mile pace
Sub 3. My official road marathon debut. Took a break from the trails to see if I could break the three hour marathon mark at Honolulu. Super wet, rainy morning made for a difficult start but found the @kakaakorunclub 3 hour pace group led by @cosmobrossy and @a_aronbennett and decided to cruise with them. Super thankful for them gave me a group of people to lock in with and talk story with… even though nobody was really talking back to me. Left the pace group and turned up a bit just before the half way mark but damn marathons are tough. It’s running comfortably hard until it’s not so comfortable. I was able to run near perfect splits of 1:29 in the front half and 1:30 in the second. Fighting cramps, puking, shitting myself most of those 3 hours and my phone being entirely too wet to play music I’d say I’m pretty happy with sneaking under the 3 hour mark.

“I will run, walk, crawl my ass around this damn island”
136 mile Circle Island Tour complete ✅
30 hours 18 minutes
Well… that was hard. Roads are for marathons, not ultras. The amount of support and love I felt from my crew, pacers, friends and the community here on island was nothing short of spectacular. I truthfully would not of completed it if it was not for each and every one of you. First half till about mile 80 everything went nice and smooth proper fueling moving fast with no issues. My motto was to smile and say hello to everyone. That trick really kept my spirits up. After a quick break and Advil at 80 I left Keana Point heading into North Shore out feeling great. Minutes later I began to vomit this gnarly black sludge. I think the Advil on a very empty stomach ruined me. Layed down in the truck contemplating stopping but crew asked if I can walk. So we did. Threw up some more walking into Haleiwa and then took a shower at a beach park. Really struggled hard and did not want to continue but was able to slowly keep going. Sure I didn’t get the time I was aiming for but my ability to just keep moving forward was a victory. If it wasn’t for my team I would not of had the motivation to keep going. This is a right of passage and I was able to Circumnavigate the Island of Oahu on foot.
Thank you to everyone who came out helped pace, crew, sent me texts. YOU are the reason I completed this. Ultra running is a team sport and man do I have the best team!

My body is broken, but my heart is full. ❤️
I truthfully have the most incredible team and would not have finished if it was not for your support.
@sweaty_wetty you’ve helped me out so much this last year and when shit got tough and I didn’t want to continue you kept me going. Eric Baese was out there all day and night shuffling people around and paced for a long section on the south shore. The entire gang from Tommy Bahamas WOW you guys came out in force too many to tag but thank you for your support seeing all of you getting into Waiks made me emotional. @juzaty thanks to you and your wife for staying up all night keeping me going into the west side.Steff K @anniep.runs @save_the_whales_cb @regniernoah thanks for the quick transitions and many miles spent getting to Kaena. @brian_wyland the boys really came to party around the point. Loved everything that one really strange song that had me hallucinating like crazy. @thomaskurtj dude your ability to not give a shit about me complaining and your calmness telling me stories was much needed. @esconik @lauralynallday @niiimz_ yall you guys seen me in my absolute worst during this laying down and vomiting out of the back of your truck. @me.minetravels @al_bearrrrr you girls had to deal with my pitty party but truthfully gave me a second wind with the help @rublewithoutacause along the highway. @run_kenji_run you kept the spirits high
Al Full send your calmness and experience was truly a secret weapon. @jonoblodgett man you can pull something out of most can’t. Once I saw you I knew we were getting this shit done. @caden_koehl @slightly.disheveled_ you boys were the first to hop in with me after Hawaii Kai then back to finish with me. @theory_in_motion thank you for the messages and motivation you are still Queen of Island. Sure I didn’t get the goal I wanted but we finished what we set out to do. I started this for me, I finished this because we all came together. I had no interest in continuing but there was no way in hell I was going to let down everyone that came out and supported.

Wasatch 100 ✅
25 hour 31 minutes
Wasatch is one of those rugged old school ultras considered one of the hardest 100s in the United States. Wasatch is such a tough course with altitude, tons of heat as well as sun exposure sun, exposure, steep, climbs, difficult descending and plenty of runnable terrain. I had to dog deep to complete this one. There were some low points early, over heating, running out of water, dealing with dehydration, my urine looking like orange Gatorade then severe cramping really made me contemplate on dropping. Let’s be honest that was never an option. I’ll complain but l never quit on myself. I love this sport. It brings your mind and body places that most people couldn’t imagine. I believe I had a good showing physically but a much better showing mentally out there which I’m very proud of.
I’m thankful for @runnerfarmer and @chandlerlorf offering up their time and energy with crewing and pacing me.
@ulohahawaii always helping me with last-minute gear, but really came through clutch with helping me out with a new pair of the Hoka tecton x4 that I ran the entire race in.
Working with @jonoblodgett again to fix some muscular imbalances allowed my body to hold up well during the second half of the day.
Every time I finish 100 miles I say never again which is always a lie. It’s been 24 hours since I finished and I’m already excited for what’s next….

Maui Vertical Volcano 🌋 FKT ✅
33.69 miles 8,383 feet
7:05:56
As much as I enjoy racing I think I enjoy chasing fastest known times even more. Often times they held in areas that could never host a race like Haleakala National Park. This puts you in complete control of who what when where and why?
Started this route at Rice Park in Kula before sunrise under a meteor shower. Saw a few shooting stars at the start then on the climb, I was greeted by a deer, a few bore and some goats. With the help from Callie my one woman crew I was able to shave 40 minutes off of my previous time.

Siskiyou Out Back 100k
8th overall
11:55:12

Couple weeks ago I completed @siskiyououtbacktrailruns 100k. Sometimes it’s not the day you wanted but it’s exactly what you needed. I was wanted a good performance but what I needed was a dry, hot, race at altitude to prep for Wasatch 100 miler and I got exactly that. After that initial 20 miles of downhill out the gate my quads we cooked. Made it really difficult to enjoy the beautiful PCT single track sections up top. It’s incredible how you can go through a lifetime of emotions in such a short amount of time. Always feels good to enjoy a race weekend with the team @chainreactionboys
7 weeks till Wasatch 100 one of the oldest most grueling 100 milers in the United States and i couldn’t be more excited 😈

Iron sharpens iron
Give me one bad mother fucker who wants it as badly as you do and I’ll go to war with them.
@juzahammah this man has lit a fire under my ass in a way most could never. Redefining what is possible with self belief and relentlessly working your ass off. Spent more hours with him training over these last few months than anyone else. Now we get to test ourselves against some legit competition at the @siskiyououtbacktrailruns 100k. Im feeling stronger and more confident than I ever have heading into a race. Let’s give the people what they want Dubs vs Juza! Time to test our abilities. Hawaii 1,2. @chainreactionboys FUCK EVERYONE

36:52 5:59 avg mile

I was convinced by my coworkers to hop in this 10k let’s be honest it doesn’t take much to convince me to go running. Road running is a completely different sport compared to trail ultras but good to know there’s some pick me up in these sequoias
