🏔️ YOUR RACE WILL TEST MORE THAN YOUR LEGS.

At Rio, you might feel AMAZING at mile 10…and wonder what the heck happened by mile 30. 😂 Your stomach may turn. Your pace may change. That perfect race plan? Something WILL happen.

I know because I’ve been there.  After 25+ years of coaching and competing at an elite level, I’ve learned that some of our biggest breakthroughs don’t come from getting fitter.

They come from training the space between our ears. 🧠
I can almost count on an “UGH, this is HARD” moment around mile 30 of a 100-miler. It happens to me ALL. THE. TIME.
The difference? I’ve learned how to recognize it, change the story in my head, use my mental tools and keep moving forward.

That’s why I created the Mindset Academy. 💥

We’ll work on confidence, the stories we tell ourselves, handling the lows, getting unstuck when things go sideways, and building tools you can actually USE when it gets hard.

🏔️ We start TOMORROW — August 31 at 7 PM! PST
Can’t make it live? No problem! Every session is recorded and sent to you along with the worksheets and exercises.

Your legs will get you a long way.

But when your legs start arguing with you…your mindset gets the deciding vote. 😉
Let’s get to work! 🏔️💪

ON THE FENCE ABOUT RIO? Maybe it’s time to go ALL IN 🔥

Sometimes the story we keep telling ourselves- “I’m not ready. Maybe next year. I don’t know if I can”- is the very thing holding us back.

2x RDL 100 Mile finisher Tuan Le is coming back for #3:
“Rio is more than a race: it’s the people, the trails, and the incredible energy that make it so special. There’s something about Rio that keeps pulling me back.”

Maybe this is your nudge 👊

Nobody trains for the hard part. Until now. 🔥
 
You put in the miles. You do the workouts. You train your body.
But when training gets hard—or race day doesn’t go the way you planned—your mindset can be the difference.
 
If you’re struggling to stay consistent, doubting yourself, falling apart when things get uncomfortable, or not racing the way you know you’re capable of… this is for you.
Introducing the Mindset Academy, led by Julie Fingar—designed to help you train your mind just like you train your body, so you can handle the hard moments and show up stronger when it matters most.
 
🏃 Ready to take your training AND racing to the next level?
We start August 31st.
🔥 Join us here: https://raceroster.com/events/2026/139711/mindset-academy

Train your body. Train your mind. Be ready for the hard part.

🐸 Finn the Frog and 🦦 Onyx the Otter have been keeping a close eye on the registration list...
Word around the trails is they’re already making predictions about who will be celebrating at the finish line next spring.
Not because they know who’s the fastest.
Not because they know who’s trained the hardest.

Because they know one simple truth:
Every great finish starts with one small decision.

The decision to say yes.
Yes to early morning miles.
Yes to muddy shoes.
Yes to challenging yourself.
Yes to discovering what you’re capable of.
The finish line may be months away, but your journey begins the moment you register.

We had an amazing day at Dirty Dozen Endurance Race yesterday! 🎉🎉

We packed up and headed to Pinole ready to face that 3.37 mile loop with our crew chief extraordinaire , Yvette’s Sports and Medical Massage, to keep us fueled and pain free. 💪🏽 (With come cutie furry assistants/cheerleaders in tow) 🐶

-Julie and Chris (Donut Dashers) competed as a relay and left some smoke on the 6 hour course, completing 41.2 miles 🍩
-Melanie ultra shuffle shuffled her way to victory on the 6 hour course, completing 29.9 miles 👟💨
-Angie had some fire coming out of her shoes as she smashed the 6 hour course, completing 26.9 miles 🔥
-Karina, our baby runner fueled by mainly Coke, destroyed the 12 hour course completing 40.2 miles🥤

What a great day with amazing vibes, volunteers, music, and food. Huge thank you to Sam, Jasmin, and the entire Brazen Racing crew for putting on this amazing event. 10/10 recommend them if you have never done a timed format race before. We’ll see you again next year!! ❤️

Some races are measured in miles.
The magic of Rio is measured in moments. ✨

For 25 years, Rio Del Lago has been more than a race. It’s sunrise over Folsom Lake, the cheers on No Hands Bridge, volunteers who become family, and finish-line hugs you’ll never forget.

This year we’re celebrating 25 years of the Rio Del Lago 100 Mile and 5 years of the Rio Del Lago 50K. Whether it’s your first Rio or your tenth, we’d love for you to be part of this milestone.
💙 Come experience the magic.
