deka fit ultra!!! best last minute decision i’ve made in a HOT second.
48 hours ago i signed up to run deka fit ultra, which, for those of you who may be unfamiliar like i was a few months ago, is as follows:
***500m run preceding each zone***
Z1: weighted reverse lunges x30
Z2: 500m row
Z3: 20 box overs
Z4: 25 med ball sit-up tosses
Z5: 500 m ski
Z6: 100m farmer carry
Z7: 25 cals air bike
Z8: 20 dead ball overs
Z9: 100m tank push/pull
Z10: 20 weighted burpees
5 TIMES BACK TO BACK.
this was wayyy more than just about a race for me. this was about believing that i was capable of doing a new, hard thing & not overthinking or talking my way out of it. it was about not listening to my inner critic and listening instead to those who spoke truth over me. it was about believing in myself and KNOWING that i would not fail, that i would finish, no matter how long it took. truthfully, i haven’t experienced that kind of self-belief and self-confidence in about 3 years, and it felt like a breath of fresh air to experience it again.
but it was ALSO really nice to finish the whole thing in 4 hours and 44 minutes🥲
I COULD NOT HAVE RUN THIS RACE w/o my people!!!
hugeeeeee thank you to and who were literally the BEST pit crew we could’ve asked for, prepping our drinks & snacks & supplements and checking in on us throughout the race to see what we needed. it would’ve been a completely different experience w/o you. i appreciate you both so much.
and !!! thanks for all the encouragement and for being there to support us & definitely not let us slack!!!
ty for the prayer and words of truth over me and for pushing me and for smiling your way through the whole race.
& shoutout to for the BEST COMMUNITY EAST (and probs west too tbh) OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
