I ran and won my first half marathon at the beginning of February! I’m so thankful to the people who came with me and helped make this the most awesome trip. A night in Flagstaff, day in Sedona, won a race, brunch by the river, recovery in a hot tub, and just a great time with my people. Only would’ve been better had I not been sick all week and completely lost my voice the day before the race. But that only makes me more grateful to do what I can do and more excited for what’s ahead when I’m feeling like myself!

Last Tuesday I did an active metabolic assessment at work to re-test my VO2 max and confirmed that I broke the previous world record of 78.6 mL/kg/min with 88.0 mL/kg/min! This is a recap video. The whole thing was recorded with no interruptions for documentation!

My first race post-college and in over a year and a half! Third place overall female in 59:37 and such an amazing day! It really got me looking forward to racing ahead. One of my freshman year college teammates found me at the start, and we ended up getting to hang out afterwards, just an extra joy of the trip!
