Required Reading

Shelby and went on vacation a couple weeks ago and this is the book I brought along. Very inspiring and enlightening. Really showed me how much I don't know about running and that there is so much more to running that I need to tap into. The books really dives into the world of ultra running and it's history, why people run, why we are always getting injured, and how we can learn to run more often with less injury.

Nocturnal Challenge 18hr.

I had intentions of doing a full race report for this one but I've let it get away from me and now it's too late. In short, the Nocturnal Challenge was great race and well put together. Race started at 1:30 on Saturday and ended at 7:30 Sunday morning. Dealing with the heat for the first couple hours was a challenge but since most of the race was in the dark the suffering was short lived. Tons of biking in this race- not our strongest discipline so we skipped some bike cp's to have more time for the trekking sections. One of the coolest things about the race was the wildlife- several deer including a nice size buck, cattle, a gator, and a fox. Good to see the racers we've gotten to know and catch up. Dave and Katie were great teammates as always. I'm really blessed to get to race with them. Third place finish overall so a good showing for us. Here a couple pics.
