FORT LA TOUR PARKRUN

7AM -15 DEGREES NO EXCUSES

PACK TRAINING (20LB DUMBBELLS + TEA)

I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t tough. I had super high hopes going into this race, I felt more than ready. I was excited to hit the trails and the energy surrounding me was surreal. I started the day off quick and ended up getting ahead of myself. After securing a 2nd place position for about 12 hours of the race, my body came crumbling down on me. The hip issues that disappeared for months came back full force. This was a learning lesson for me but needless to say, I am very content with the outcome, securing a top 8 position (top 3 in my age), logging over 110kms, almost 3000m in elevation and spending the day on a gorgeous trail that I had no clue was slowly eating my knees alive. Thank you to my mom, dad and brothers for supporting me all the way through, Mark McColgan & Amber Elizabeth for hosting a great event and big thanks to Cody Darcy Cooper for pushing me to my limits and helping bring life back to my legs. Ive got a few trail-ultras coming up that I’ll be training very hard for so it was amazing to get this one under my belt. This is only the beginning!

I’ll be back next year Loonie Loops! 🦆
