One Month until my 100 Mile Race

 On March 22nd, I will be participating in the Prairie Spirit 100, a 100-mile race in Ottawa, Kansas. The course is completely flat and features a crushed granite surface, which is very easy on the joints. 

Yesterday, I completed a solid 50k, with half of the distance on that nice granite surface and the other half on sidewalks. My finishing pace was 14 minutes per mile, which aligns perfectly with my goal for the 100-mile race. If I maintain that pace, I would finish in about 23 hours and 20 minutes, which I would be very happy with! 

These self-supported ultras tend to take a little longer since I have to manage all my own aid stations, refilling water and supplies on my own. In organized races, you typically receive assistance with that, which is definitely a nice benefit.

Long weekend run and hyrox

 I challenged myself on Saturday with a long run after a long day.  I got up at 4:30 Saturday morning for our Cupid’s Revenge competition and started my Run that night a little after 9:00 PM.  I had some foot suites and had to stop a few times to put some Vaseline and change socks.  I wanted to get 20 but only got 17. I went to bed after 2 so I had a good hard day of ultra training without all the miles.   In a few weeks I will be up for well over 24 hours so this was good practice.  Today I did THE HYROX flush workout with the noon class and felt good after.  About to go do some stretching and structure work.  

Day of Fitness

 I did the Hyrox workout at noon with some friends.  And a nice 10 mile run tonight.  Got some good night running in.  It was pretty foggy. Made it somber.
