"I had the most amazing day at the Citrus 50k on March 16th with my friends and athletes Carla Cellini and Nena van Dalen. After an early morning ride over at 3:30 am with Carla, and 2.5 hrs of sleep, I was off on my 50k at 7:15 am. Lost my new
sunglasses in first mile. First ten miles of trail were beautiful and
conditions were nice and shaded and still felt cool although was 60 at
start. As started to feel really good at mile 15 the weather began to
get hotter and trail was completely exposed. With smart racing tactics in beginning was able to pass many struggling runners
during last 10 miles and finish Overall Female in a 50k PR in 85 degree
temperature!!!
My athletes did great as well, Carla finished 1st in
AG at 10 mile race and Nena finished her first trail race ever and
proclaimed "that is much harder then running on pavement and much
better:) Someone found my missing sunglasses and then had great lunch
with girls where Nena gifted me a most beautiful bracelet for as she put
it "being awesome and changing her life". Day came to a close with an
incredible dinner with friends and my favorite beer Guinness. Really a
top 10 day. Thanks to my sponsors Team Pearl Izumi - Florida and Infinit Nutrition. Also thanks to Kip Koelsch for putting on a great race! And my incredible practitioners Clay Wilson, Flagler Beach Center of Natural Medicine, Natalie at Green Acres and Fuller Chiropractic. Seize it Live it!!!"
