DC PEAKS 100 MILE RACE RECAP 
To start, thank you GOD for giving me the ability to DO 👏🏼HARD 👏🏼 THINGS 👏🏼

What an adventure. I got pulled at mile 85 for being late to the cutoff. I was ahead of my pacing chart (A goal, 30 hours; B goal, 33 hours) for the first half of the race. I genuinely felt good most of the time, and my training really paid off. Any potential issue that arose (like hot spots on feet, electrolyte imbalance) were addressed immediately by myself and my crew so that it wouldn’t blow up into a bigger issue, and I am thankful for how swiftly these were taken care of. 

After further review and a brutally honest analysis from Soffri, I ultimately spent way too much time at aid stations in the first parts of the race without realizing it, especially when I didn’t “need” it. I guess time has a way of ticking by silently when you’re several miles in, and—being my first 100–you don’t know what you don’t know. I think this is the part that stings the most—that my DNF was not due to a lack of physical ability, but a lack of time awareness through aid stations, and—in a way—sabotaging my own race. 

I genuinely think the 100 mile distance is a really fun one. I think it says a lot about my training and prep to finish 85 miles and think, “I’m ready to do another one.”
