Another installment of a Grand Canyon trip recap!
I packrafted from Lee’s Ferry to Phantom ranch after which I spent some time on the big raft while the rest of the packraft crew continued on. Hopped back in the packraft for a few more days at the end of the trip as well. All told I had 6 swims with only 1 total separation from the boat, the numbers certainly would have been higher if I had stayed in the packraft the whole time 😅 Couldn’t have done any of it without the help of the most dialed crew in the west ❤️

I’ve never been an inherently gifted runner, I’ve had to fight and make sacrifices for every minute and second off that clock. Some days I questioned if everything I was doing was enough, if I could ever be the person that I dreamed of, but this weekend it all came together 🥹✨
3:05:19 at St George Marathon!!
That’s an hour faster than my 2 slowest course times (4:07 in 2016 and 4:05 in 2022), 27 minutes faster than my course PR (3:32 in 2023), and 13 minutes faster than my previous PR from Boston this spring (3:18)
I’ll do a more technical race recap momentarily but for now I’m soaking it in.

Thanks to my family and friends (especially @themelta )who, even when it’s hard, give me the space and time to chase after my dreams 💫

I’m a couple days late but it’s been ~one year since I sent Trench Warfare. Last summer I dedicated my entire season to projecting this route, it felt like such an achievement when I sent surrounded by all my friends/mentors. Projecting didn’t lend itself well to diversity of climbing though because since then I’ve been getting my ass kicked on pretty much everything I touch. I keep telling myself that’s okay because I’ve been training up and learning a lot in the process. Hopefully I’ll turn the corner and start kicking ass myself soon.

Please enjoy this theatrical edit which is intended to be a nod at the badass OG YouTube video of Kim Csizmazia sending the route with its extension.

Chicago Marathon Race Recap!
Wow what an experience! I came away from Chicago with my 2nd star, a shiny new PR, and my 15th marathon under my belt. My official time was 3:02:53(6:58 min/mile avg pace) which was 3 minutes shy of my big shiny goal.
Starting the race I immediately felt that the A goal wasn’t in the cards for the day but I still thought I could go sub-3. At halfway I thought, this is doable, I can repeat that on the back half (running a strong final 10k of the marathon is usually my superpower), but by mile 18, my legs suddenly felt heavy and I could not get them to turn over fast enough. My pace dropped down a tier and I was never able to regain it. Interestingly enough my HR also dropped slightly with my pace. I have asthma and I usually finish a marathon on the verge of an asthma attack with lung inflammation lasting for days after - but this time my lungs were not troubled at all. It goes to show that the failure was not in cardiovascular fitness but in neuromuscular fatigue.
After some reflection, I think I made some volume mistakes during my taper, then, paired with the race day weather conditions (85% humidity being my true death sentence as a desert dweller), it just simply wasn’t my day.
Even though I’m disappointed that I didn’t meet the expectations I set for myself, I’m still proud of how far I’ve come and I’m more determined than ever to chase down that sub 3.
Next up? Boston 😈 I’m really more of a hills girlie anyway 💅

Shout out to my husband for being the best support crew not just on race day but for the months of preparation beforehand 💕

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 ✨ #trailrunning #mountain #running #trailrunner #tripletrailchallenge taken in Jupiter Peak, Park City Mt. Resort by @redpointrobin

Two trail races in one week?? Who is she?
As traditionally a road runner I’m feeling pretty stoked about my results this week on the trails! 5th place female on the Wasatch Trail Series short course at Deer Valley and 9th place female on the Round Valley Rambler Half marathon yesterday!
Since I had two races a few days apart I didn’t go ALL out in either of them but I pushed for hard sustainable effort and smooth running in both. Especially psyched about the Half yesterday as my main goal was to run everything (no stops no walking) and to be sub 2 both of which I achieved! My pacing, which was pretty conservative at the start, was excellent and I found I had tons of energy reserves for the second half of the course. Overall I felt incredible and am feeling invigorated to keep pushing on the trails!
Shout out to @skyrun_co for getting this road runner to test herself out there in the mountains!
