Had so much fun racing the Jupiter Peak 25k yesterday! My primary goal was not to roll my ankle again (I had rolled it 2 weeks prior) which I achieved with flying colors 🫡 and as a bonus I even came away with a 9th place female finisher and 27th overall! This race had about the amount of vert that I usually get in an entire week in the first 8 miles 😆 that being said I wanted to try and run continuously as much as possible and I’m feeling really proud of my effort (see last slide for run/walk chart). My downhill speeds were also heavily affected by my paranoia around rolling my ankle again which slowed me down significantly. I think I could run the downs much faster if I wasn’t so worried about injuring myself before Chicago. Thankfully I came away unscathed and also invigorated to keep getting after it on the trails! There’s some magic to this trail running community ⚡️ I see it now ✨
