Awesome job you guys! I wish i could have been there to cheer you on, but as you know, i was out at my own race thinking i was going to do my first 100 miler.
Nanny Goat 12/24 hour race is the race i signed up to try to do my first 100 miler. I was unsure from the beginning if 100 was doable since i have not run anything further than 15 miles since last year. :) I have12 been battling asthma and allergies as you guys know, and so it just hasnt been in the cards lately. I packed and got ready that week before like i was going to do 100 miles non the less.
Race morning came and i felt good, but still unsure of how many miles i could pull out of my hat. It was great to see some familiar beautiful faces and former students Vikki Clifford aka Sweet Pea (it would be her first 50 mile), and Andrea Kooiman (Going for first 100 mile) at the start of the race. We all gave hugs and took photos. Trail races are small, so we were all able to chit chat and start the race together.
At about mile 16 my legs were aching. I took some Tylenol, and kept pushing. 20 miles my legs were filling with lactic acid. I had told Andrea, that i didnt think it would happen, but we kept pushing. Well, i was pushing, and she was breezing through like nothing. At 32 miles i changed my clothes and wiped down to feel more fresh and try to get a different mental attitude to continue. It worked, and i ran to 42 miles. I thought i would stop there, and call it a day, but when i came around the 1 mile loop lap, Kim Degen was standing there to run with me. :) Kimmy ran with me (well, mostly we walked) for the rest of the way, and i finished my 50 miles at 11:34. I decided i had done enough damage to my quads, and listened to my body. I had a great time, and will do it again next year. :)
Vikki then finished right after completing her very first 50 miler! She was a Rockstar! She did so great and we are so proud of her! Congrats Sweet Pea!
Andrea Kooiman finished her 100 miles in under the 24 hours! She was so strong the whole way! She was ready! Great job Andrea! We are so proud of you! Andrea also coach's Her Kids for We Rock, and through out the day, her kids were coming and running laps with her. It was very inspirational, i am sure for her, and her students. Thanks you guys for helping your coach, she is always there for you, and now you were there for her! Awesome team work!
Thank you to everyone for sending me great wishes and thoughts, i really appreciate all that you guys do! :)
