I hadn’t raced an ultra for over a year. My training block for this race started way back in the spring. I had no other races planned before so I had a lot of time to build my fitness for this race. Training went about as good as it could have. I was very consistent […]
Read more "Tahoe Rim Trail 56 mile Race Report 2024"I’m finally getting around to writing a race report for the American River 50 2023. It’s going to be short, mostly because I can’t really remember this race since it was last year. I chose to run this race because it is basically an American classic ultra race that has been around forever. It used […]
Read more "American River 50 mile Race Report 2023"The Tahoe Rim Trail is one of my favorite ultras for many reasons. First, the course is one of the most beautiful. The trails are decomposed granite and very smooth. The race director George is not only an outstanding dude but puts on a top-notch event. Lastly, the aid stations and the volunteers really make […]
Read more "Tahoe Rim Trail 100 Race Report 2023"To be honest I’m writing this a year after I ran it. I sort of forgot to write a review and wasn’t too motivated. Anyway, I would still like to comment on how the race went not only for myself but because I know other like to read race review sometimes. This wasn’t my first […]
Read more "Tahoe Rim Trail 55k 2022(new course)"Okay this will be a short write-up. This is my third run of the Silver State 50 mile race in Northern Nevada. This race is always on my to-do list because it is the only distance of the three distances I have not won. I previously won the 1/2 marathon and 50k but the 50 […]
Read more "Silver State 50 mile 2021"I honestly never wanted to run a 100 mile race. Anything further than a 50 mile race was simply not appealing to me. I knew that to be successful at running a 100 mile race I would have to significantly drop my pace and hike quite a bit. Also the fact that most runners at […]
Read more "Tahoe Rim Trail 100 – My first 100"This was my third “longer” race this season. To recap my plan for 2018 was to run some races longer than around the 50k (31mi) distance. I started the year at the Black Canyon 100k with a “test” of this longer distance and then gave it my all in the Silver State 50mi, only to […]
Read more "Tahoe Rim Trail 50 Mile Race Report"I love the Silver State 50/50 race. First off, it is in my backyard so I know the mountain very well. Second, the Silver State Striders led by Race Director John Trent are really and truelly a great group of people who do it for the runners and for their love of the community and […]
Read more "Silver State 50 Mile Race Report"I’ve decided that this year I will attempt some longer races than I have been running. For several years now I have been racing distances around 50 kilometers. After what felt like a successful year of racing to me, I was left wondering if I could take my training, nutrition and hydration strategy to a […]
Read more "Black Canyon 100k"I signed up for this race in the middle of last year. It is a lottery so you have to register early and hope you are chosen to compete. Fortunately for me the 55K distance is not too hard to get into. When I looked at my race season I didn’t really put all my […]
