One year ago, on December 1, 2012, I ran my very first ultramarathon. It was The North Face Endurance Challenge 50k in San Francisco. It was a mess. It was an awful storm. I had a blast. I vowed that I would never run another ultra again.
Well, now one year later and with 6 ultras under my belt ranging from 50k races to my one 100k finish, I was back to seek my vengeance on a brutal course.
The North Face Endurance Challenge Championship 50 Mile race runs through San Francisco's Marin Headlands, features over 10,000 feet of climbing, and can be one of the most spectacular races in California. This day was no exception. What was supposed to be a rainy morning turned out to be a perfect, crystal clear, cold start that blossomed into a sunny afternoon. Could not have asked for better racing conditions.
My good friends Chris Vargo and Sally McRae both ran the race and CLOBBERED the course! Chris finished 3rd overall and Sally finished 13th Female! Our other buddy Scott Breedan finished 20th overall! Holy CRAP I'm friends with fast people. If only it rubbed off on me! Thanks to the assistance of my good friend & pacer, Billy, I trucked into the finishline in 10:42:56, besting my previous 50 mile best by almost 30 minutes!
I have to thank all of those I met out on the course. I had no idea there was such an extensive crew of GingerRunner fans! From runners yelling "congrats on your engagement" as I passed people to literally SINGING MY THEME SONG! Haha, it was AWESOME! Also, I have to thank Molly and her amazing family for letting us eat all of their food post-race. That was a highlight for sure! Finally, a HUGE thank you to Billy for not only pacing me and dealing with my low points, but for filming when I did not have the strength, and rushing around the course waiting for me in the freezing cold. Thanks bro. I got your back at AC100!
This was my last race of 2013, but surely a sign of races to come. I look forward to continuing to push beyond my limits in 2014. Thanks again for all your support!! Here's to another year full of training, racing, and beering!!
