Technical course with lots of slower areas. My heel was completely ripped up after the first 9 miles and I felt every step, still felt like I had a decent showing. Still lots of room to grow.
.
Ps. Also had a coyote charge across the trail like 2 feet away from me as I dodged behind a tree.

Abominable 30k - 4th Place Overall

Crazy Climbs and Downhills where all I could do was walk. Took my first tumble and still have a lot of room to grow. Thankful for the opportunities my body gives me and my hamstring for holding up.

1st Run in the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite Trail shoes.
Amazing shoes, still dealing with a lot of knee pain so didn’t get to test the full capabilities of them yet. Stay tuned.
