59 miles. 3rd female. 7th overall at Mind the Ducks 12 Hour.
Really cool to see 3 women finish in the top 7 overall.
A few race notes:
- Should have taped my feet
- Two painful blisters popped
- The ice bandana was amazing, but once it melted it caused some wild sports bra chafing
- Took more bathroom breaks than I would have liked
Fuel: 23 gels total. The ones that went down the easiest:
Styrkr Mixed Berry
Amacx Raspberry
Amacx Cola Lime
GU Liquid Energy Cola (caffeine)
Tailwind Dauwatermelon all day
Decided to put music in with 1 hour to go and completely flipped the race. KPop Demon Hunters – Takedown hits at 11.5 hours and brought me back to life.
My husband, kids and parents all crewed for me.
Ultra running is the best.
