Happy to share! My sister runs ultras as well, and she runs into the same issue. Good luck this weekend! What kind of race are you running?

I should mention my favorite race shirt. Trail ultras changed my life. Everyone should be able to see themselves on the starting line, but women are still underrepresented in the sport. Buy a comfy shirt and support the Womens Trailrunning Fund. #running

My spoken thoughts are always wild and disorganized. For better or worse, writing seems to be the only way I can scratch out what I'm really trying to say. It's a time commitment, but fortunately I enjoy it!

The real ultramarathon is deciding to write your 100 mile race report longhand because you didn't bring a physical keyboard on your trip. Pray for my writing hand.

Thanks! Gotta say that it was a super fast course. Pretty flat with significant sections on flat jeep roads. I'm super happy with my time. Over two hours ahead of my goal!

The last 100 miler just finished with 50 seconds to spare. Incredible.

I did! They helped get me through that lull between miles 75-95. Thank you

We're back for Golden Hour. These badasses have been on their feet for over 35 hours and racing against the cutoff. If you ever want to have your faith in humanity restored, this is the place. I love this sport.

Thank you very much!

Thanks! Late in the race it felt like I might be out there forever. To have finished feels surreal

Thank you Ali! Last night I was mostly relieved to be done. This morning it's starting to sink in

Shasta @theshastaone.bsky.social · 3d

Thanks for the messages out there. The inspiration is mutual

Thanks Gigi!

Running 100 miles in one day has been a dream of mine for years. Yesterday I lived that dream. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you, everyone who messaged advice and encouragement along the way. #running
