Ha, I wrote about the necessity of “whole assing” ultrarunning two weeks ago on my substack. The sport has and is rapidly changing and we have got to be super dialed.
I understand an early start for an ultra, but for a half-marathon? 10 o'clock seems like a much better idea. But of course then traffic would break down and American cities have no public transport... :(
You still performed so well. Live and learn and all valuable lessons for the future and nothing wasted. But now that you mention it, I did have some concerns about Tabor racing, driving and crewing! Must be the mama bear in me since I’m old enough to actually be your mother!
That sounds so tough logistically, and those races while technically in the same area are REALLY far apart. I love the idea of WHOLE-ASSing it. Now can Colorado warm up already??? Big things coming for both of you - let's go!!
If 12th in a half marathon and 4th in Black Canyon is half assing it, I am scared to see full assing it! I guess we’ll see it in Boston and Canyons!
Too kind!

Gonna be thinking about whole-assing it for the rest of the year.
whole assing it means wearing your running vests while you drive, so i don't know if you're ready
Shit, probably not! Guess we just aren't that committed yet
Great writing! Thank you for sharing your adventures in running and life
Thanks for reading and being along for the journey!
6:30 AM start for a half-marathon race is absurd.
Way too early for our liking!

2025, the year for WHOLE-ASS’ing it 🙇♂️
Yeehaw!

Appreciate your kind words and caring!

We would really like shorts weather to be here now -- one weekend in AZ made us soft!
