100 miles in 31 hours, 11 minutes. ⠀
⠀
I had unfinished business with the Midstate Massive Ultra Trail after timing out at mile 62 last year and was determined to get it done this time. There were doubts, blisters, and fatigue along the way but also elation, excitement, and wonderful support that carried me through. Completing a hundred miles in a single effort seemed incomprehensible, and though I had trained long and hard for this event there is still a lot that needs to go right in order to pull it off.⠀
⠀
I am grateful to have had @verotorresz and @leiser_life as my crew and pace team to keep me moving and motivated mile after mile, and to coach @thestring.bean for guidance and leading me to believe that "a hundred miler isn't twice as hard as a fifty". Also thankful to @newenglandraceevents and its volunteers for such a well-operated event that allowed so many finishers to achieve their goals.

This one was special.

Winding down my final big training block of the year and feeling good about preparations for the Midstate Massive 100. Let's go!

Oh, and a review of these Columbia Escape Ascent shoes is coming to the @thestring.bean blog soon.

Waving goodbye 👋 to the season at Northeast Whitewater! It was a privilege to spend all summer outside training and guiding in the North Maine Woods with a great group of professionals while providing memorable experiences for the thousands of guests we hosted.

Now it's time to buckle in for my "A" race of the year, the Midstate Massive 100 (@newenglandraceevents), before escaping for the winter!
