2013 Virgil Crest Ultra 50 Mile Race Review: Running Wild---A Course Record Perspective
The Virgil Crest Ultra. The Race Director labels the run as "Not a race for sissies!", I would totally agree. With living only 5 miles from the race course, I have had the opportunity to train on the trails, the ski slopes, and really gauge my fitness. Little did I know that all that training almost did not matter! This course is just rugged-hard. Not only is there tons of tough vertical ups and blinding down hill sections but the footing is what makes this race "not for sissies". Every foot-plant I made, my foot was twisted through mud, roots that made me feet ache upon each strike, and narrow paths deep in the woods where a fall could be...fatal.
This race was TOUGH! I never imagined how hard it would actually be but it was.
The 50 mile race was a great challenge and I am so glad I had enough guts to hold it together for a course record.

Putting the MTR collection to the test

Running a ridge in the Southern Sangre de Cristo mountains |
Before we get to my thoughts on the new MTR gear, I just want to shout out The Enormocast. I sat down with Chris Kalous at The Enormocast during the summer OR show and talked about mountain running, alpine climbing, risk, and the role of community in mentorship. Check it out here-> Episode 40: Doug Shepherd - Too smart to be stupid.
