Conquer the Canuck 12 Hour 🥇🏃‍♂️ 12 hour race from 7am to 7pm, running a hilly 6.25km trail loop. At about the 9 hour point, the race due to lightning as a thunderstorm rolled through ... with a bonus tornado warning. When the race restarted, I found myself able to move fast after the rest, and did the math: if I ran two loops at the same pace as I started the day, I could still get to 100km despite the pause (and likely take the win). Those two loops were not easy, with muscles start to spasm near the end, but I was able to cross the timing mat with 5 minutes to spare, earning a 100K lapel pin, first place, and a free pair of shoes, courtesy of race sponsor Altra. I only wear Altras!! It was a fun, though I wasn't planning on finishing that hard! Last long run before Sulphur Springs 100 Miler in two weeks😬. Taper starts now. Shoes: Lone Peak 9 for the first 60K, then Experience Wild 1 for the rest.
