Tuscazoar 100 Recap: Pickles, Puke, and Tears (My first 100 miler)

September 4th I started my first attempt at running 100 miles.

28 hours,51 minutes, 10,000 feet of elevation gain, one stress fracture, and a 6 hour rainstorm later….I finished.

I really tried to make this video short but there’s too much to sum this up in 15-20 minutes. Especially since this is my first one, I wanted to hit all the details for something to look back on.

Thank you to everyone for the kind messages and encouragement before and after the race.

To end with, the Tuscazoar 100 is an incredible race run by amazing people and volunteers. Beautiful race ran well from start to finish and I really recommend this to any ultra runners out there looking for their next challenge.

Thoughts And Feelings Before first 100 Mile Ultra Race (Tuscazoar 100)

Quick video of how I’m feeling 1 week out from tuscazoar 100. Running an ultra marathon is a wild experience and I’m sure this 100 miler will be even more of one. I’m going to document my experience as much as possible although I don’t know how much I’ll be up to filming in the later miles

My First Ultra Marathon Experience (50k)- Projectile Vomiting and Hitting The Wall

I ran my first ultra marathon (running with my gnomies 50k) two weeks ago at camp tuscazoar) I went through the full spectrum of experience from wet feet to bonking around mile 25. A lot of doubt and negative thought loops occurred in this process but it was an incredibly gratifying experience and I wanted to share the story.
