Well it was quite a year.
I went from completing my first Ultra (Trailstoke on Aug 29, 2015 -55km – 3500m gain) to being hooked on exploring, racing, and running in the forest. It is an easy thing to get hooked on, I’m quite convinced trail runners aren’t the crazy ones. Or maybe we are just the right type of crazy that I totally will jump on board with.
Ok so here is a recap of all of the races, from last October to this October, and what an amazing year it really was. I love reflecting on this stuff so much that I actually have trouble getting rid of my old agendas (yup I use the old school paper agendas) because it is so relaxing to flip through and see years filled with events and things I love.
I am fairly competitive and it makes racing fun for me, it is probably also the reason I have most of these numbers recorded 🙂

With all of that in one year, I have taken sometime to not race in the last two months and I am very excited to have come up with a goal for next year. I won’t share until I have registered and am able to be sure it is happening, but I am pretty excited about it already.
Wow, that’s a lot of races and impressive results! Looks like we did a few together! See you out on the trails.
