-Enjoy my pre and post race photos.

-What I learned from my first ultramarathon.

Was this the first race I've entered? Yes.

Why didn't I race in shorter races to build up to it? The research I did on running communities lead me to believe that the ultra community is the most accepting and motivational group. I felt that first hand as I cheered on every runner I saw that passed me or I passed, and they (almost) all cheered me on as well. I had more than a handful of conversations with other runners as we maneuvered our way through the course. Talking about their experiences, familiesand motivations. I enjoyed those mini heart to hearts since that's basically what I do for a living.

-How was it? Well, during my training I g,t to the point where ripping off a 12 mile run was something I could do multiple times per week. But the difference between 12 and 32...is alot a lot I have yet to become an experienced runner in the heat, so choosing a summer race wasn't my best move. But, my main goal was to finish in under 6 hours, after 23 miles when I hit my last crew aid station I was still on pace for that goal but the last nine miles I had to walk run and ended up 6 hours 35min for my race. There was a 2 mile stretch with about 6 miles to go that was on the blacktop with no shade and the sun beating us down. Heat is truly the great equalizer as there were no racers running that portion of the race, we all walked.

Would I do it again? Well, I still have a 50 miler, 100k (62 miles) and a 100 miler on my bucket list. Two specific races I think would be awesome to run are the Western States 100 and the Hurt 100, as they have a large legacy in the endurance race history. So, short answer is yes, I have the hunger for a few more long distance races.

All in all, I'd give the whole experience a big thumbs up ( the free beer, pizza and sweaty hug from the race director at the end of the race "didnt" influence that decision at all)

Shout out to Loretta for going through with her word. When we started training she was not confident enough to sign-up for a meet. Well now that it's passed, I think she is biting at the bit to get back on the platform!

We love to see our clients succeding in their respective sports!

Jen really is an inspiration to many. You can see her success story on our wall, she is currently a personal trainer at Snap Fitness and just has an overall accepting and supporting presence.

Jen ran the Boston Marathon last month. She completed it in 3 hours 11 min and 26 seconds (if you are anything like me, running for 5 minutes is impressive!). Congratulations Jen. I am excited to see how the upcoming triathlon season fares for you. (oh, did I forget to mention that Jen competes in half ironman triathlons at a world class level)

Keep being amazing Jen. Snap Fitness will forever be your strength training home😉
