Mud, wind and 100 miles. Meet the athlete who showed up anyway.

Meet Sheila 🩷
This past weekend Sheila took on the Javelina Jundred 100M, and the desert did not hold back. Extreme weather, flooding, mud everywhere, and 100 miles to cover on foot. Pink in the desert, mud and all.
She ran what she could, hiked what she needed to, and kept moving through the mud and the mess. She came into race weekend after a recent sprain that set her back, and she felt strong where it mattered most. She didn’t get the finish she came for. She got a huge TRY, a pile of time on her feet, and a head full of lessons from a brutal 100K. That’s how strong ultrarunners are made.
And this is not even the first time Sheila has done something remarkable. She had a hip replacement in February 2025 and has been training her way back up through the ultra distances ever since. In January 2026, less than a year after surgery, she ran the San Diego 50M, and she ran it strong.
She’s a North County San Diego athlete juggling CPA exams, wedding planning and training, and she still shows up with a plan (and if you know Sheila, you know she does it all in pink). Her next chapter includes the Southern California Ultra Slam, and she’d love to run a 200 miler someday. She plays the long game, and she plays it with heart.
Sheila, I’m so proud to be in your corner. 🩷
