The mindset of a champion.
❝I panicked for about five minutes before suddenly it hit me: why *couldn’t* I be the race leader? Why *shouldn’t* I be the one leading this race?

Friday night at 00:00 is the start of Grand Trail des Lacs et Châteaux 100 miles, which I am going to run.
I'll post updates here with the #GTLC hashtag. And you can follow my progress in Ferrett. -
❝“…You should see me now,” I said. “I am so tired. I am stumbling through these forests. I don’t know how many times I stubbed my toe on these rocks… . But it is so beautiful. You should see it.”

Pick a race in May, they said.
The weather will be nice, they said. -
I love this film!
So many ultra running films are about the elite, fast young.
This is about the rest of us. ❤️

An issue that confronts the would-be urban walker determined to traverse a megacity from one boundary to the other: do you outfit and equip yourself for ordinary urbanity, or for the walk?
I’m halfway minded to adopt some of the practices and tactics I use in #ultrarunning and #ultralight hiking, but by the same token poles and hydration bladders and so on stick out like a sore thumb. You want to be able to move through crowds, duck into bodegas, pet the local cats, etc.

I wish all the runners in the #Neckarcross #Ultra a fantastic day today. Enjoy it! 🙌🏻

While Rachel Entrekin was running the last mile of Cocodona 250, to win for the third time the women’s race and set a new course record, beating it by more than two and half hours, and to win for the first time the overall race, she stopped to pet dogs :)

❝Of course, I can’t do what [Kara Goucher has] done in competition […]. What I can relate to, though, are the difficulties she’s gone through and the courage she’s shown in overcoming them. And maybe — maybe? — that’s something I can replicate in my own life.

Watching Cocodona 250 on IG. It is showing really why I'm starting to love ultra trail running so much. They are all so nice to the supporters, volunteers and the other runners, really like a group of friend out and about. Good example from HardRock 100 when Courtney was setting course record, she had time to stop to talk to a fan, a small girl, while "sprinting" for the line. Though at this year's Cocodona the people who ran one aid station, after 80miles, were really mean, they didn't have the normal camping chairs, they had comfy sofas in the tent ;)

❝For so long, I’ve leaned on adventures to feel alive. Big experiences, big emotions, a big dose of doing to infuse life with meaning and purpose. […] Take away those certainties, and the hard work of living begins.

Unbearably hot day. Heat was definitely the biggest opponent.https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/22740654658?share_unique_id=68

Race day anniversary. Wonder Woman at the end of a 50K Ultramarathon with a smile on her face. We love the flat course in the Francis Marion National Forest north of Charleston, SC. #ultrarunning

One of the *best* things about ultras.
❝One of the sure things about ultras is that you can never count on an outcome.

❝– The outcome matters deeply to you
– The situation is unfamiliar or unpredictable
– You’re putting internal pressure on yourself
– Training has shifted from “want to” to “have to”
What all of these have in common: your brain has interpreted the race as a threat.

Local newspaper Leeuwarder Courant wrote an article about the ultrarun event we organised "160 kilometer hardlopen in de achtertuin. Zo werd de Noardlike Fryske Wâlden-wandeltocht een ultramarathon" (in Dutch) https://archive.is/d38ln #ultrarunning #runnersofmastodon #fryslân #friesland

Unfortunately had to DNF at 55km because of a medical problem. Slept a few hours and then started crewing for the people who where still running. A bit disappointed because of the DNF, but really enjoyed crewing.
And I know it was the right decision to stop. #nfw100 #ultrarunning #runnersofmastodon #fryslan #friesland
