Pocatello and Big Horn Race Photos

 Below are photos of me from the Bighorn 50k June 15th and  Pocatello 50 miler June 1st

June 1st. Pocatello 52.8 miler, 12000 vertical feet, ascent and decent.

3000 the first 16 miles, 3000 the second 16 miles and 6000 the last 20 miles

The first 8 miles the terrain was covered with wildflowers. This area was very rocky and steep.

Happy to reach the top

Drop bag at mile 16 = 4:10 hours into the race

Aid Station 32.5 = 8:30 hours into the race

                                                                                   Finishline!

Long day at Pocatello, the last 20 milers were tough. I achieved my goal and was not miserable and  did not cry as I had the first 3 Ultras I have completed.  Now recover cause I am running a 50k two weeks later.

BigHorn 50k . Dayton WY. June 15th

Start of BigHorn 50k

Mile 14 aid station. I saw my friends from Fort Collins

 

The Hills are ALIVE at mile 20 and my knees were not feeling so good.  BigHorn is known for more decent then ascent. Running downhill is not my strength. From mile 14-20 I took it every slow, lots of hiking.

Then from mile 20-24 was very steep  running downhill.

I was so happy from mile 24-31 (the finishline). I ran the last 5 miles which fast super fast and I was running 10 minute miles.

Finishing line!

This month I am participating in the Leadville 50 miler, July 14th.
