I laid in bed on the final night of the Zion trip with one thought in my mind:
I want to go apply what I learned and try again.
24 hours prior, I had endured beautiful failure in my goal to get 9 Tribal athletes across the finish line of Zion 100.
I made it 70 miles myself. And I was satisfied with that.
But it wasn’t 100.
Two more thoughts floated through my mind:
You should go figure out how to run 100 miles before trying again with the Team
You should go run a race that’s just for you, without any coaching responsibilities
I browsed Ultrasignup.com and found an option right away.
Great Divide 100. It was in 6 weeks and I only 2 hours from my house. I was in.
On June 2nd (after 37 hours and 40 mins of running) I crossed the finish line of Great Divide 100.
I recorded a full podcast sharing my race and finish story.
You can listen to that HERE.
